A seated teacher in a saffron-orange robe with a long flower garland sits in a large brown armchair on a raised platform inside a red-draped hall. Around him, dozens of participants in white clothes and orange-red shawls sit cross-legged on a white floor covering, several with rudraksha or prayer beads, some bald, some with long braids. A banner reading Inner Awakening hangs at top left above a stage with a glowing purple and blue backdrop, a gold-framed throne-like seat, oil lamps and brass candlesticks. A large screen at top right shows a crowd scene. The seated figure in orange is probable Swamiji by appearance cues, with long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland, seated as the central teacher of the satsang.
