A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, sits on the floor facing a raised stage in a hall with maroon drapes. On the stage, a figure seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests and a golden canopy is flanked by robed sannyasis in saffron and orange cloth and women in white and orange sarees. Several devotees in the foreground wear orange turbans and rudraksha malas. Video cameras on tripods film the stage, and golden poles line the foreground. The seated throne figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identifiable by his central position on the golden peetha with a crown-like headdress and ornate clothing, though the image resolution is limited. About 60 people are visible.
