A photograph from a large hall where a seated audience fills the foreground. A figure with his back to the camera stands on a raised platform beside a gold-carved throne, wearing a dark wrapped turban, a red-orange top, a leopard-print wrap and a long dark braid, with a pale floral garland around his neck and a gold trident-topped staff at left. A projected screen behind him shows a large portrait of a bearded man in a head covering. Audience members in saffron, purple and white clothing sit in rows, some with hands joined. Golden lamps hang from the ceiling and a Yamaha keyboard sits on a gold-draped table. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person, shown by long swept-back hair, a turban, a garland and ornate ceremonial dress, but he is seen from behind and his face is not visible.
