A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate golden throne with a canopy, a garland of flowers around the neck, speaking into a microphone on a raised stage. A large portrait of a smiling man with long swept-back hair and a red bindi hangs behind the throne, flanked by tall decorative garlands and banners. Around the stage, rows of people in white and orange-saffron clothing sit with hands folded in prayer or namaste, some shaved-headed, with brass vessels and offerings placed before the throne. The setting is an indoor hall with bunting and a fan visible at the left.
