A seated figure in a saffron-orange draped garment with a wrapped rust-red turban and a rudraksha mala hangs at the front of a large hall, holding a tall golden trident and extending an arm toward the crowd. The seat is a rust-red cushioned throne beside a gold statue of a bull. Behind him, white drapes, hanging colourful tassel decorations and a ceiling fan frame the scene. A large seated audience of devotees in white and saffron fills the foreground, with many faces and heads visible. A projection screen shows an image on the right. The person on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange ornate clothing, seated on a throne.
