A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching head covering sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion figures, a golden trident standing beside him. He extends his right hand over a small tray held by a young person in white kurta and glasses, who stands before a microphone. To the left, a woman in a green sari with red border and layered mala necklaces watches, and another woman in a cream and red sari stands nearby. Behind them, delegates sit in a hall with a large screen showing a crowd, and white drapes hang with orange banners. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a long dark swept-back hair style and saffron-orange robes and sits on the throne as presiding teacher, giving blessings to a delegate.
