Brass plates of offerings, flowers and a small kalasha-like vessel sit on the floor, with red mats in the foreground.

Probable Swamiji is the central figure; the appearance cues are the saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long hair. Around the throne, a group of devotees sits on the floor in white dhotis and white or red-bordered shawls, with a plate of offerings, flowers and a kalasha-like brass vessel placed before them. A woman in yellow and a woman in red-bordered white sit to the right, and a bearded man in white participates in a puja-style offering. Walls are draped in garlands of marigold and rose, with a deity murti and oil lamps visible at the left edge. The setting is a hall with a sheer curtain and tiled floor, consistent with satsang or puja.2010-11-14
