A stage at a formal function with a row of seated dignitaries behind a flower-decorated table lined with small oil lamps. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, with long dark hair and rudraksha beads, sits holding an open book, which suggests a Swamiji (probable) based on the orange robe, turban, long hair and beads. Beside him, a man in a white kurta holds a book and a pen, and to the right an older man in white with a white shawl and glasses reads from a book. A man in a dark waistcoat and white cap sits at left, reading. A standing attendant in grey stands behind them, and marigold garlands hang across the blue backdrop, which has large white letters at the bottom of the stage. A microphone stand with a small sign stands at the centre.
