A man seated in front of a seated audience gestures with his right hand while speaking. He wears white and cream ceremonial clothing with a red and maroon-bordered shawl, a rudraksha mala around his neck, a white horizontal tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, glasses, and gold bangles. Behind him a man in an orange jacket and white cap holds papers, and another man with closed eyes sits with hands together in a hall with dark chairs and wood-panelled walls. The man speaking is a presenter at a satsang discourse; appearance-based cues are consistent with the a person candidate but not certain enough to confirm identity.
