A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a woven striped mat in a plain whitewashed room, speaking with one hand raised and holding a small book. He wears a white kurta and an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders, with a red border on his white dhoti. A microphone on a stand sits beside him and a water bottle rests on the floor. Behind him hangs a large printed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban with a red tilak, its lower caption partly visible as 'vananda'. A pair of aluminium crutches leans against the left wall. The man in the foreground is a teacher or speaker, and his appearance does not clearly match the portrait's subject, so identity is uncertain.
