A seated man with a shaved head and a red bindi on his forehead speaks while gesturing with his right hand, which holds a small white stick. He wears a dark red-maroon robe, a dense multi-strand rudraksha mala and a heavy gold ornamental necklace with bead-like pendants, and white sacred ash markings on his upper arms and shoulders. Around him, saffron-robed devotees sit on the floor, some with mala beads, in front of green leaves and white paper cups.
