Photograph inside a temple-style hall with brown and white marble walls, white pillars and a wall clock. A bare-chested man with a shaved head, sindoor-marked forehead, beaded rudraksha necklaces and an orange cloth sits cross-legged on an orange cushioned platform, gesturing with one hand toward a cluster of microphones and recorders. Around him, reporters and cameramen with video cameras, still cameras and notebooks form a press scrum. To the left, a man in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads holds a tall brass staff, beside an orange flag with a printed emblem. Behind them, a shrine with a deity murti and small oil lamps is visible. A black telephone sits on the platform.
