Seated in front of him, close to the couch, are women in colourful saris and a few people on the right side of the frame. Behind him stand a bronze dancing Nataraja figure, a white nandi bull statue, and dark wooden ritual implements against a red wall. The setting is a courtyard-style session with the speaker addressing listeners.
