A man in a saffron-orange turban and orange robes stands on a raised stage speaking into a handheld microphone, wearing a long white and red flower garland with a gold pendant. Behind him a large red umbrella with multicoloured tassels is held by an attendant in white dhoti and orange shawl. To the right a bearded man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands with hands folded, and a cameraman with a video camera is at the edge. Orange flags printed with a purple bird-like emblem and a pot hang from the tent roof, and a white cloth covers a seat behind. A tall silver staff with a decorative top stands at the right edge. Several onlookers stand in the background. Whether the man at the microphone is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
