A seated figure in orange robes with long, swept-back hair and a flower garland sits on a decorated dais at a microphone, speaking, while a man in white clothes with an orange shawl stands beside him holding a small silver ritual vessel on a yellow cloth. In the foreground a devotee in white kneels and bows with forehead to the feet of the seated figure during padapuja. Behind them are a large floral backdrop of marigolds, white jasmine and red garlands, a maroon curtain, a brass oil lamp on the floor, and a wooden podium on the left wall beside a framed photo panel. The seated figure's appearance matches Swamiji (probable) through orange robes, long swept-back hair and a garland, with the role of teacher giving satsang.
