A man stands on a white stage in a costume of red and yellow, appearing to portray a character from the Bhagavad Gita. He wears a bright yellow turban with a gem brooch, a yellow shawl draped over his shoulder, a red dhoti with gold border and a green-and-gold waistband, a rudraksha mala, and gold armlets and bangles. Beside him stands a tall ornate brass lamp with a peacock-shaped top, its bowl set on the stage. Behind him a large backdrop shows a smiling man in a light blue turban and white kurta, a yellow sky and red autumn trees. The backdrop's man is a printed portrait, not a physical person.
