A man seated cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered seat beside a golden bull statue (Nandi), holding a microphone and speaking to a large seated audience in a bright hall. He wears an orange-red saffron robe, has long swept-back dark hair and a beard, and a red tilak on his forehead. A gold trident stands to his left. Behind him a projection screen shows a close-up of a bearded man in red robes. Audience members in white, pink, yellow and red clothing fill the foreground and rows of seats. Visible person cues are consistent with a person candidate, so the appearance is described as probable and the figure is treated as present in person.
