A bearded man in a white v-neck t-shirt and white trousers stands outdoors holding a black microphone in his right hand and gesturing with his left, smiling as he speaks. Behind him, a black stone deity murti with multiple arms sits within a white carved arch backed by a green curtain with gold floral pattern. The murti wears a yellow cloth draped over its head and shoulders, a rudraksha-style bead mala, and a garland of yellow and magenta flowers. The base is covered in red-orange kumkum or vermilion, with a small brass bell and a low wooden bench in front. Trees surround the shrine. The man is a speaker or teacher at a satsang, and his identity is not established by appearance.
