A crowded indoor hall full of devotees. In the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over a bare chest, smiles while walking through the crowd. Behind him, a tall golden trident (trishul) stands at left. Devotees wear white, orange and green clothing, and several have sandalwood or tilak marks on their foreheads. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands near the left. Large screens behind the crowd show images of people. Cues for the central man include long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, and rudraksha-style adornment, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
