A man stands on a raised stage in front of a large green banner, palms pressed together in namaste. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, an orange head wrap, and a rudraksha-style bead necklace; the description marks him as a person candidate on the basis of these cues, with the saffron clothing, head wrap and beads. To the left, a banner portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange garment is labelled with a printed caption. The banner announces a Bhagavad Gita satsang, and a copyright notice appears at lower right. A metal pole stands in the foreground under a white canopy.
