A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala speaks into a microphone while sitting on a carpeted floor in front of a golden deity murti in a blue skirt. Behind him, a wall displays many small identical figurines in orange, yellow, green and purple garments. Fruit, a coconut-like offering and a brass lamp sit on an orange cloth before him. Around him, about a dozen devotees sit cross-legged, several clapping with palms together, dressed in blue jacket, green shirt, red sari and pink and purple outfits. Garlands hang on the golden shrine at right.
