A photograph of a seated teacher in a large hall addressing a seminar audience. The central figure sits on an ornate brown leather throne-style chair with carved wooden arms, gesturing with one hand and smiling. He wears rust-orange robes, a heavy gold necklace with pendant, gold armbands and a rudraksha-style bead mala, with long dark hair falling to his back and a tilak on his forehead. A tall gold trident stands to his left, and a microphone stand with a DTX-labelled device sits in front. Dozens of seated audience members, mostly in white and pastel clothing, fill the foreground, with framed photographs on the wall behind. Probable Swamiji is seated in the centre, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-orange clothing.
