A seated man on a stage gives a discourse at a microphone stand. He wears a red-orange robe with a leopard-print waist cloth, layered rudraksha malas, a gold ceremonial necklace and a long dark braid, with a white-and-red forehead mark. He sits cross-legged on a red cushion draped with a tiger-skin print and raises one hand in a teaching gesture. Behind him a large sculpted relief shows a four-armed seated deity with a crown and rudraksha garlands, flanked by kneeling figures with folded hands. A silver trishul stands to his left, a metal kettle-spouted lamp sits on the pink stage, and potted plants frame the scene. The sculpture is a deity murti and the kneeling figures are relief carvings, not physical people.
