A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a tall golden crown, long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl and bare chest, is addressing a group. Before him on the floor sit devotees in white and orange: a woman in white with an orange head-wrap and rudraksha mala, women in white saris with red-bordered shawls, and a bare-chested man in orange in the foreground facing the throne. A silver lion figure rests before the throne, and a brass lamp stands near the railing. Gold-carved pillars and a red curtain frame the room. Probable Swamiji is the central figure on the throne, identified by the saffron clothing, crown, long hair and rudraksha-style ornamentation, but the face and wider scene are not clearly confirmed.
