A bearded man in an orange-saffron robe and a red-orange turban with a crescent emblem sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, wearing a long gold-beaded necklace and a bracelet. A tall silver trident stands to his left, and a small table with offerings and a candle is beside the throne. A large crowd of seated devotees, many women in colourful saris and men in casual clothes, fills the hall, and a screen above shows a close-up of a face. Swamiji (probable): the robed figure on the throne has a turban, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with a sannyasi presiding over the gathering. Roughly fifty or more people are visible.
