A seated figure in an ornate brown throne-style chair at the centre of a large hall, wearing an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged sash, a rudraksha mala necklace and a sheathed arm band, smiling and gesturing with one hand while a microphone is attached near the face. A tall silver trident stands beside the chair. Around him a dense crowd of devotees sits on the floor, many in white and orange-red clothing and red shawls, with a few smiling Western women among them. Purple decorative panels line the back wall. The figure appears to be a probable Swamiji in a seated, honoured position, consistent with the cues of turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
