A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching turban sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered seat, arms raised with hands joined above the head in a meditative pose with eyes closed. He wears a long gold necklace with a large pendant, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, and gold armbands. A tall golden trident stands to his right and a golden bull statue (Nandi) sits to his left. Behind him a camera on a tripod and a red banner reading Sadhyam are visible against pale draped curtains. A large crowd of seated and standing devotees in white, orange and red clothing fills the foreground and background. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure, identified by the long hair under the turban, the saffron robe and the gold ornaments, is seated in the central teaching position.
