In the centre, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace sits on a white-draped seat with an orange cushion behind; the probable Swamiji is identified here by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments. Around him, devotees sit on mats wearing white clothes and orange lanyards, with a man in white in the foreground with folded hands and eyes closed, and a bearded man in white at the right edge. A few people sit on the floor in casual clothes at the left. Orange lanyards and white garments dominate the scene.
