A photograph of a large indoor gathering with a barefoot figure in an orange-saffron garment standing at the edge of a red-carpeted stage, hands pressed together in namaste, with long dark swept-back hair and a sleeveless saffron robe. Facing him are rows of seated devotees, most wearing white and some in yellow, orange and purple, many with white cloth blindfolds tied across their eyes. Several people in the front rows have hands folded in prayer. Behind the stage are speaker cabinets, potted green plants, a red plastic chair, and a sign reading Swamiji Day Tour nearby. The setting appears to be a hall with pillars and barred windows.
