A seated figure in a red-orange turban, orange-and-gold robes and layered gold and beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold-framed brown leather throne with carved lion-paw armrests, speaking and gesturing with one hand while holding a folded white paper. A large silver trident stands beside the throne. Behind is a red-and-gold deity image and a framed portrait labelled "Parashiva Puja" with a caption. A dense audience of people in white clothes sits on the floor in the foreground; several young attendees along the right wear white with lanyards and white forehead bands. Swamiji (probable) is the seated speaker, identified by the turban, saffron-orange robes, layered rudraksha-style malas and ceremonial gold necklaces. Setting is a hall with pink walls and red chairs.
