A seated speaker in orange robes with a bald head and a red bindi sits at left, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Garlands of white jasmine and orange and pink flowers drape the ornate golden chairs. Beside him, a man in an orange robe and red-orange head cloth sits on a gold-carved throne with a gold chain and rudraksha-style beads; his hands are folded and he appears to be listening. Behind them, a man in orange robes sits in shadow and other men stand in the background. At lower right, an older man with grey hair in a white shirt and white shawl with a colourful sash sits. A red and orange floral garland lies across a carved wooden stand in the centre. The backdrop shows a hilltop with buildings.
