A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a shawl sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden arched back, palms pressed together in a gesture of blessing before a stage with a yellow floral cloth. A figure with long swept-back hair and a crown-like headpiece wears saffron clothing; the cues are an appearance-based probable match for Swamiji (probable) presiding as the speaker. Flanking the throne are two brass oil lamps with flames. To the left, men in white dhotis and saffron-bordered attire, one shaved-headed in orange, sit on the stage with hands extended toward the throne. To the right, women in saffron and white sit with hands extended in greeting.
