Indoor darshan scene at an ashram hall. A seated figure on an ornate silver-and-gold throne wears a tiger-striped yellow-and-black garment, gold necklaces and a long swept-back hairstyle, and reaches out toward two devotees. A woman in a cream sari with a red-orange shawl and a rudraksha mala raises her hand toward the seated figure, while a man in white kurta with an orange shawl leans forward with hands extended. Behind them, seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls fill the room, and a television screen shows a broadcast. A lamp hangs overhead and the throne is draped with a red cushion and white fur rug. The seated figure matches the appearance of the probable Swamiji, identified by the throne, tiger-striped garment, ornate gold necklaces and long hair.
