A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair, a gold necklace and bare feet sits cross-legged on a white-covered platform with palms pressed together in prayer before a microphone stand. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls stand and sit with hands folded in anjali, and a white-capped attendant stands in the background. A white pedestal fan sits beside the speaker, and a peacock-feather fan with a red ornamental top appears at the upper right. Several young boys in white with orange shawls and sandalwood tilak sit in the foreground, also in prayer. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan gathering indoors.
