A seated figure in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a white-and-red floral garland sits on a blue chair over a striped red-blue mat in a plain white room. Around him, about two dozen men in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing rudraksha malas and conference-style badges, sit cross-legged on the floor or stand, several with palms pressed together in namaskar. A cameraman in orange clothing films from the right, holding a Leica-style camera, and a man in orange stands at the far left. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland, though this is an appearance-based label only.
