Attendees in white clothing surround him, some with folded hands, a woman in a red sari with a braid bends forward, and others stand behind. Young men in orange shawls and white kurtas stand at the back. A tray before the seated figure holds rudraksha beads, small items and printed sheets. A woman in a yellow sari is at the right edge, and a fan and red curtain are visible in the background. The seated man has long hair and distinctive orange robes, consistent with the appearance-based cues for Swamiji (probable) in a darshan role.
