A photograph inside a hall before a large painted backdrop of deities, including a goddess seated on a lotus holding lamps and a deity under a parasol on a chariot. A central figure sits on a red and gold throne beneath a golden canopy, wearing a white turban, white ceremonial clothing and a long garland, with long dark hair; the appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable) and he is seated in the throne position. Two devotees in white kneel close beside him with hands raised in namaskar, and a standing figure in an orange shawl is at the left edge. A tall ceremonial flagpole rises at the left and a brass lamp stand stands near the base. Several more people stand in the background. Some figures in front are wearing white and orange shawls.
