Indoor ritual scene before a deep maroon velvet curtain. On the right, a seated man in orange robes with rudraksha malas and a red tilak sits on a red cushioned seat decorated with a colourful flower garland. Facing him, a bald man in orange and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and glasses sits on a patterned rug, with a second man in orange kneeling beside him. On the left, a woman in orange attire holds an orange cloth bag, and another man in orange leans forward. A metal basin sits in front on the rug, next to a fluffy white cushion and a small red box on a gold-trimmed stand. The scene resembles a satsang or puja gathering with devotees.

A photo of a ritual setting with a long-haired man seated on a red-cushioned throne at right, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders and smiling as he holds a silver bowl of white powder that he touches with his hand. Several shaved-headed men in orange-saffron dhotis with gold borders stand at left and centre, one bending forward, while a woman in a red garment kneels at the lower left. Gold-painted deity statues stand in the foreground, including a figure with raised hand at lower right. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron shawl cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the ritual scene, while the other men are priests or devotees.
