Indoor event hall photograph of a seated congregation in white-and-coloured clothing, many with white cloth strips tied over their eyes. A central figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a red tilak walks barefoot down a red carpet between the rows toward a stage draped in white and red fabric, decorated with marigold-style flower arrangements, wheat sheaves and a microphone on a lectern. The scene suggests a convention-style gathering with attendees receiving initiation. Swamiji appearance is probable: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and tilak, walking as the central figure.
