Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-framed throne in a large hall, with a small headset microphone. The central figure wears an orange and black tiger-striped garment, layered gold necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armlets and a red kumkum mark on the forehead; long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and distinctive striped clothing, seated in a presiding role. Before the throne is a gold-toned table holding a metal deity murti and a purple cloth, with a small brass vessel. In the foreground a young man in white dhoti with a red shawl and beaded necklace sits cross-legged. Behind, seated devotees in white and red shawls fill the room, with a few people standing near the back and a staircase at left.

A figure with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate silver-framed throne, wearing a tiger-striped saffron-and-black garment, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha mala and gold armlets, pouring liquid from a silver vessel over a small gold deity murti on a carved wooden stand draped with purple cloth. Seated before it, a young man in white dhoti with an orange-red shawl presses his palms together in prayer, with a forehead tilak. Behind them, devotees in white clothes with orange and red shawls sit on blue and purple mats, and brass puja vessels are arranged on the floor.
