Indoor convention hall with white walls, potted palms and a seated figure on a gold quilted armchair draped with a leopard-print cloth, adorned with red garlands and a red cloth. The seated figure has long dark hair and wears white with gold trim and red garlands; the appearance is consistent with a long-haired presenter but not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, and a person in front kneels with raised hands in greeting. Standing devotees in white and orange shawls press palms together, and seated attendees in white sit on the floor at lower left. Flower arrangements, a brass lamp stand and a gold kalasha-style lamp sit by the dais.

Nearby, a woman in a white sari with gold border covers her mouth, and a girl with a long braid sits in front. Standing behind, a woman in an orange shawl and white outfit smiles, and men in white and red shirts, one with a red badge, watch. The person on the sofa appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the long swept-back hair, garland and white-and-gold ritual dress, performing a blessing as the seated man bows. Potted palms, orange and pink bromeliads, and a brass lamp stand decorate the stage; a framed poster hangs on the wall.2006-03-26March 12 20062006-03-12March 26 20062006-03-26
