A stage set up for a discourse in an indoor hall with a maroon curtain behind. A seated man in an orange-brown robe and an orange turban sits on an ornate silver throne with a silver canopy, in front of a large backdrop painted with a South Indian gopuram temple tower beneath a starry sky and mountains. A microphone stands beside the throne. On the left, a deity murti in a garlanded alcove with a pink and green cloth sits on a gold pedestal. On the right, a garlanded deity murti in orange and red garments with an ornate necklace stands on a pink-draped platform. A wooden railing runs across the front of the stage. The man appears to be a person, with a seated, ceremonial presentation: orange-brown robes, orange turban and a throne. The scene shows no physical audience.
