A large indoor assembly hall with a red carpet, where a crowd of several hundred seated devotees faces a central stage. A figure with long dark hair and an orange-brown robe stands raised on a golden-backed red throne, one arm lifted in blessing. Many attendees wear white, cream and saffron clothing, and some sit on red chairs with orange bags beside them. Strings of orange and yellow marigold-style garlands and hanging lamps decorate the ceiling, and two large screens show a close-up of the figure. Probable Swamiji is the standing central figure, identified by long swept-back hair and ochre robes.
