A man in a plain white kurta and white dhoti stands barefoot on a dirt ground at an outdoor stage, holding a microphone in his right hand and speaking, with a wooden post planted in front of him. Behind him a white-draped table holds rows of brass kalasha pots with mango leaves and coconuts, plus garlands and a framed portrait of a woman in orange garb, marked with a red tilak on the forehead. A yellow banner above shows the Saptamurthigal deities and reads Satguru Dharma. The man has short hair, a red tilak and a rudraksha-style necklace; the portrait subject is a printed image, not a physical person. Only the speaker and a few seated figures at the right edge are physically present.
