A photograph inside an orange-walled hall where a figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne facing a seated group. Several devotees in yellow shawls and white clothes sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, some holding silver plates of offerings with flowers and red items. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha malas on a throne. Behind them a shelf holds a kalasha and flowers, and a red sign reads more than 20,000 people in 247 countries are having darshan. A blue sign reads Silence please. Four people are visible in the seated group, with additional partially visible people at the edges.
