A photograph of a long-haired bearded man in a rust-red draped garment seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, with gold necklaces, a rudraksha-style gold necklace, jewelled armbands and a flower brooch. He holds a small ceremonial wand and sits before a black lectern with a yellow logo. Around him, a large seated assembly of devotees in white, orange and saffron clothing fills the hall, many bare-chested or in white dhotis, some with vibhuti marks. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and rust-red garments; the figure is in the central role of the gathering, which appears to be a satsang or initiation session.
