A photograph of a stage in a temple-like hall. Seated centrally on a golden throne with lion-patterned cushions is a bearded man with a tilak and a white flower garland, wearing an orange-saffron robe and holding a trident-topped staff, with a rudraksha mala. Flanking him are two large painted deity statues with multiple arms, holding small lamps and ritual items, wearing green sashes and golden waistbands. Two golden bulls stand at the base of the throne. In the foreground at left, five young men in orange-saffron cloth with rudraksha malas sit cross-legged before microphone stands, chanting or speaking. The walls are blue and cream with gold ornate carvings and a pink-and-green pillar detail.

Golden nandi-like bull statues sit at the base, and a few devotees with shaved heads and bare upper bodies sit at left, one singing into a microphone. Hanging bells, brass lamps and a garland-draped rod decorate the shrine. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation of the page's named teacher, but identification rests on the page rather than clear visual cues, so it is labelled unsure.2018-03-06A seated man in an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a crown-like golden backrest sits centrally in a shrine-like niche, wearing an orange-brown robe, a long white flower garland and rudraksha beads.

In the foreground two women in orange saris speak into microphones, partly cut off by the frame.
