A large crowd of seated devotees fills a bright hall, many in saffron, orange and white clothing, viewed from behind their heads. On a raised golden peetha draped with a tiger skin sits a bearded man in a saffron wrap and orange turban, wearing a long gold-beaded mala, a rudraksha-style necklace and a leopard-print waistcloth, with a golden trident beside him. Behind him stand a gold bull statue, tripods and a camera on a scaffold, and white drapes line the back wall. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his turban, long hair, saffron clothing and gold necklaces, while the wider scene shows satsang or discourse.
