Outdoor photo under a metal-framed open shelter with green trees behind. A man in the centre holds a black handheld microphone to his mouth while speaking, wearing a white dhoti with a green and gold elephant-patterned border, a red and gold sash, and an orange shawl with fringed ends draped over his bare shoulders; he wears a wristwatch and a gold bangle and has white sacred ash marks on his chest and arms. To his left a bearded man in an orange shawl and white dhoti, with a gold necklace of beads and a white tilak on his forehead, also holds a microphone and stands with folded arms. A third man in a white dhoti stands to the right edge, arms folded, with a gold necklace visible. A speaker is mounted on the shelter's top beam above them.
