A stage session before a large audience of children in white uniforms seated on the floor in the foreground. A young woman in a rust-brown sari sits on a low golden seat at left, holding a microphone and speaking. Centre stage, a man in an orange-red turban, rudraksha mala and cream garment sits cross-legged on an ornate white and red throne, hands resting in his lap. Behind them a gold-framed backdrop shows a deity murti of a seated figure with a consort, flanked by brass lamp stands, potted plants and clay pots, with maroon curtains and colourful decorative tassels. Several other people are visible on the stage. The setting suggests a children's satsang or discourse.
