A photograph of people seated on white plastic chairs in a plain concrete hall. In the centre, a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe sits with bare feet, a swept-back hairstyle and a shawl draped over his shoulder; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) present in person. To his left, a man with a bare chest and red-and-gold dhoti holds his hands in anjali, wearing a gold chain. Beside them seated men in checked shirts and white dhotis, and a standing man in white with hands folded. On the wall a blue sign reads switch off cell phones, children under 12 years not allowed, video-audio and photography prohibited. Steel pots and a kalasha-like vessel sit on a table at left.
