A large indoor satsang hall with a crowd of devotees seated on the floor, many in white and cream clothing. At the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair and a rust-orange turban sits on a golden throne with a golden bull (nandi) figure beside him, wearing a saffron-orange garment, a heavy gold necklace with a rudraksha mala and a leopard-print cloth, with a gold trident (trishul) held upright beside him. Cameras on tripods and a red banner with a partial white script are visible in the background. Cues match the Swamiji (probable) appearance: long hair, turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, seated as a presiding teacher.
