A seated man in a rust-brown turban and rust-brown robes, wearing white and red beaded necklaces and a brown rudraksha-style mala, sits on a leopard-print cushion with palms pressed together in greeting. Facing him, an elderly woman in a patterned sage-green sari sits in a wheelchair holding a red-and-gold object, while a standing man in a white shirt with a mala looks on. Behind them, women in rust and maroon saris stand near a gold kalasha-topped brass stand and a microphone on a stand, with maroon curtains in the background. A younger woman kneels on the red carpet in a white sari. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: turban, rudraksha and bead malas, and rust robes, shown in an in-person satsang-style setting. Other visible people are devotees and attendants.
