A seated figure on a large brown leather throne with carved wooden arms leads a gathering in a hall with white draped fabric behind. The central figure wears an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl over a bare upper body, and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a gold necklace; a live cobra is draped over the arm of the chair and held near the figure's hand, which is raised in a gesture. Around the throne, rows of seated devotees in orange and white clothing sit closely together, many with eyes closed or looking toward the front. Swamiji (probable) is shown in appearance-based cues: turban, orange-red clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, seated on the throne as presiding teacher.
