A seated figure in saffron-orange robes holds a black microphone while speaking, sitting on an orange-draped chair with a zebra-print cushion. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a gold chain is visible at the neck. Beside them, a man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a bead necklace sits near a brass plate of white offerings. Behind them, a deity murti draped in orange with a yellow flower garland stands before a white temple wall, with a golden trident beside it. Several people in white and orange stand under a shaded pavilion, and a woman in a purple sari is among them. The figure's appearance with long swept hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial setting matches a person, seated and speaking.2008-12-24A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a gold pendant necklace, seated on an orange cushion while speaking into a handheld microphone with one hand raised.
