A large hall of seated participants in black clothing, many with eyes closed, facing a raised stage. On a white and red throne in the centre sits a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes with a wooden staff across his lap, chin resting on his hand, appearing to be Swamiji (probable) given his saffron clothing and long swept-back hair. Behind him a deity murti with multiple arms stands on a blue starry backdrop flanked by golden trident stands. Several people sit on the stage and a standing attendant in white is at the right edge. Participants wear black tops and mala necklaces, and a white fan stands on the left.
