A photograph of a large group of shirtless men seated cross-legged on yellow mats across a white tiled hall, many with bare chests and white paste marks on their arms and foreheads. Several are holding their arms across their chests or shoulders in a repeated gesture, one in the foreground wears glasses and a white forehead mark, and a man in black trousers sits near the centre. Beige and brown ritual items lie on the floor, and a wooden carved screen and gold-toned decor stand in the background. The scene reads as a group ritual practice rather than a single speaker, and no individual is clearly identifiable as Swamiji.
