A seated teacher with long dark dreadlocks wears an orange-red shawl and sits on a red-cushioned silver throne before silver trishula staffs. Around him, devotees sit on a patterned rug in a large hall; many wear rudraksha malas and white or orange clothing, and several men are bare-chested. A woman in a striped top and a standing bare-chested man appear in the background. Behind the throne, a gold ornate chair stands beside yellow-draped tables and white chairs. The teacher's appearance (long swept-back hair, orange-red wrap, rudraksha-style malas, ceremonial setting) gives a probable identification as Swamiji, so this is a probable in-person candidate. Seated devotees are receiving teaching or darshan.
