A large hall filled with seated devotees, most in white with white ribbons or headbands, sitting on blue plastic chairs along a central green carpet. A man in a flowing orange robe walks toward the stage, with a younger man in white robes and an orange sash behind him and another person in orange nearby.

Probable Swamiji (saffron robe and swept-back long hair visible) is the walking figure in orange; the seated chair is unoccupied.
