A photograph of a hall during an audience-style gathering. A figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne beneath a gold canopy, in front of a backdrop of green and gold draping with strings of garland. Seated on the floor below, a group of devotees in white clothes with yellow shawls and some in orange robes listen attentively, several with hands folded or eyes closed. A striped rug lies in the foreground and a no-mobiles sign hangs on the wall. The seated figure on the throne has long hair, orange robes and a crown-like headpiece, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), seated in person on the throne.
