A photograph of a devotional gathering indoors before a dark red velvet curtain. On the right, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a white cushioned seat, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. He matches the probable Swamiji appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable in-person candidate. Before him, a woman in a red and gold sari kneels on a white cloth, and a woman in a cream sari with red border stands at left. Three men stand behind: two in white ritual dhotis and shirts with hands folded in greeting, and one in white with an orange shawl and vibhuti marks. A white table fan stands behind the group. Plastic bags, a small box and offerings sit on the red carpet near the seat.
