A man in a plain white shirt and white trousers stands in a crowd, glasses on, rudraksha mala beads around his neck, reading from a printed sheet held in his left hand while his right hand rests on his chest. In his other hand he holds a small red apple. Behind him, several people in white clothes and a woman with a red bindi and a red-bordered card are visible, and a brass vessel edges the lower right. The man appears to be a devotee reciting in a group setting; his appearance does not clearly match the page's claim of a person's presence, so the identity is uncertain.
