A large hall packed with a seated and standing crowd facing a raised figure at center. A bearded man in a red-orange turban and bare-chested red-brown cloth wears a long gold-beaded necklace and holds a tall golden trident, raising one hand while seated on a golden throne-like seat. Behind him, red and white drapes, hanging yellow lamps and a large screen showing a similar scene. Many devotees wear orange, white and saffron clothes, and a large round fan-like ceremonial object stands at right. Swamiji (probable): long hair under a red turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and ornate gold necklace on the central figure, seated on a throne-like seat with a trident beside him.
