A photograph of a large indoor hall with a seated audience in white and cream clothing. In the centre, a bearded man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange wrap, wearing a long gold-beaded necklace of rudraksha-style beads and gold bangles, sits atop a gilded bull figure (Nandi-like vehicle) and holds a tall golden trident-topped staff. Background draping is white with orange and red tassels, and a blue-and-white notice board hangs on a wall. Cues of distinctive turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments are visible, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in person, seated on the golden bull in a procession or satsang setting.
