A photograph of a courtyard session in a temple-style courtyard with carved wooden pillars, hanging brass bells, and a red-painted wall. A bearded man with long dark hair in orange-saffron robes sits cross-legged on a raised silver-and-wood seat with a leopard-print cloth and red cushion, gesturing with his hands, which is consistent with the appearance of Swamiji (probable) in a seated teaching role. Around him a dense crowd sits on the floor: men in white and orange clothing, a bald man in white, a man in an orange turban, women in orange saris, and a woman in a pink-and-white outfit. A vase of orange and yellow flowers, brass lamps and a shrine with a deity image are visible in the background.
