Four saffron-robed sannyasis sit on ornate gold-carved thrones on a stage in front of a large white banner with blue Kannada-style lettering reading "ಧ್ಯಾನ ಪೀಠ" (Dhyana Peetha). The central figure, with a red tilak on his forehead, speaks into a standing microphone and gestures with his hands. The seated man on the far left holds an open booklet and reads it, another in the centre-right leans forward, and a fourth on the right wears an orange head wrap and rudraksha mala. Water bottles and a decorated puja offering sit on the stage floor in front, and a white-clad figure is visible at the upper right edge. The central speaker is a person by appearance, cued by the saffron robe, the rudraksha-adorned figures nearby and the ceremonial throne seating, though the presence of other similar robed men keeps the identification uncertain.
