A silver trident stands to his left, with a brass lamp and offering items on a low table beside him. Behind him, two video cameras on tripods film the scene against a white draped backdrop. Rows of seated devotees, many in saffron, pink and white saris and kurtas, fill the hall in front of the dais. Probable Swamiji is present on the throne, identified by the saffron robes, red turban, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ceremonial gold pendant.
