A man stands barefoot on a white stage speaking into a headset microphone, one hand raised in a gesture of address. He wears a rust-red draped garment with wide gold borders and gold waistband, a long multi-strand brown rudraksha mala, gold armlets, gold bangles and gold earrings, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him hang dark maroon velvet curtains, and to the right stand a clear acrylic lectern and brass oil lamps (kuthu vilakku) on a stand. A small red-and-white patterned rug lies near the lectern.
