A man in long dark wavy hair and saffron robes sits on a raised red-and-gold seat, speaking into a handheld microphone while gesturing with his right hand. Beside him another man in saffron clothing holds a microphone stand. A bearded man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a floor mat, and a younger man in white shirt and trousers reaches toward the seated figures. Several people in white and saffron sit on mats in the background, with a woman in white at the left edge. The seated speaker wears saffron robes with a rudraksha-style necklace visible; his appearance is only partly clear, so identity is uncertain.

A long-haired man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on a decorated throne with garlands, touching the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows his head.
