A seated teacher in a red and saffron robe sits on a red-cushioned silver throne at the front of a hall, facing a large seated congregation. He wears a long gold-bead necklace and has long dark hair. Beside him stand tall silver ceremonial staffs topped with a trident-like finial and a decorative metal fan. Devotees in orange, saffron and white clothes, some with rudraksha malas and some barefoot, fill the floor. A red fire extinguisher hangs on the white wall behind, and framed religious pictures decorate the upper wall. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated teacher on the throne, with long hair, a gold necklace and saffron-red robes; the appearance is consistent but not conclusive.
