A seated speaker in ochre-orange robes and a matching orange head covering sits at the right edge of a plain white-walled hall, facing a seated audience of men. He wears glasses and a gold bangle and reaches toward brass plates and small brass vessels set on an orange cloth-covered table in front of a microphone on a stand. The audience sits on orange mats, many in white kurta-style clothes with lanyards, and a few wear light shirts. Two long pillars, ceiling tube lights and yellow curtains frame the room. The speaker is a presenter with a platform and a microphone, and the setting suggests a seated talk or satsang.
