A seated man in an orange-red ochre robe with a red bindi on his forehead sits cross-legged on a striped tiger-skin seat, holding a handheld microphone and smiling. Beside him a large golden bull-shaped statue. Behind him a crowd of seated devotees fills the hall, including women in yellow, teal and white saris and a woman in a red-and-black shawl at right. Pale pink draped fabric hangs on the walls behind the crowd, and a silver staff rests beside the seat. The man shows probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair and an ochre robe, and is presented as the speaker at the front of the gathering.
