A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a sun motif on its backrest, eyes closed and a small object held in his hands. He wears a rudraksha mala with a long strand of beads, a pendant necklace, and a white tilak on his forehead. Seated disciples in orange and white garments, some wearing orange shawls, fill the hall behind him, and a keyboard and a small wooden stand with ritual items sit at left. A probable Swamiji candidate, the central figure, shows the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and rudraksha cues, while the attendees around him are devotees in white and orange. The scene appears to be an initiation or meditation session.
