A photograph inside a temple-style hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red saffron shawl over his body, rudraksha mala beads, and a red wrist thread, sits on a silver throne-like seat with a leopard-print cushion and speaks into a handheld microphone. Flanking him are silver lion figures and tall painted guardian statues with orange and red dhotis. Before him a kneeling man in white ritual clothes with folded hands listens attentively. A large silver bowl of yellow flower petals and a leaf plate with yellow offerings rest on a stand in front. On the right, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari holds a small object near the seat. Silver ornamental panels and a carved arch decorate the background. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala while seated on the throne, presiding over a discourse.
