A seated speaker in white clothes with a beaded necklace sits on a white-draped couch before a microphone, addressing a seated audience of about fifteen people viewed from behind on white plastic chairs. A framed portrait on an easel shows a figure in orange robes seated with a rudraksha-style necklace; the portrait is a printed photo, not a living person, and no identification is made from appearance. Behind the stage, a deity murti in a red shrine is partly visible. A vase with orange flowers and a water bottle sit beside the couch. On the right, a poster reads Various States of Consciousness, listing Jagrath/Wakefull State, Thinking, Swapna/Dream State, and Dreaming under With and Without I Consciousness.
