A photograph of an outdoor temple-courtyard setting. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with his palms pressed together in a namaste gesture, bare feet resting on a red cushioned footstool. A microphone stands before him and a wooden lectern with red top sits in front. To the right, a deity murti adorned with a flower garland and a beaded necklace is seated on a raised platform beside brass lamps and a kalasha, with another orange-robed figure seated nearby with hands folded. In the background, a man in white dhoti and a person in white clothes stand in an arched doorway of an orange building with a striped red-and-white wall and a corrugated roof, and a seated figure in white sits near the entrance. The tall temple pillars and brass lamps frame the scene. Whether the seated speaker is a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role.
