A photograph of a large hall with a crowd of devotees seated on the floor. In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate brown leather throne with carved wooden arms, wearing an orange-red saffron shawl over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala with a large bead necklace, a red and blue wristband, and a red tilak on his forehead. He raises a wooden stick in one hand while gesturing with the other, and a small clip-on microphone is visible. Surrounding him, many people wear saffron-orange shawls and lanyards; a woman with long blonde hair smiles to the right. Purple floral patterns decorate the back wall. Appearance-based a person cues: long swept hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala, seated on a throne as the central speaker.
