Inside a decorated hall, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklace sits on a red-and-blue patterned rug, one hand raised to the cheek, beside a small white packet and a golden trident standard. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces, with a sannyasi's role. Behind a metal railing, a large crowd of devotees in white, cream and green saris and kurtas fills the room, some holding brass vessels. Colourful paper streamers and tall painted pillars decorate the ceiling and walls. Another man in saffron stands nearby, and an orange draped cloth hangs at right.
