A man in a white cream kurta with a rudraksha mala around his neck stands in front of a black deity murti draped in yellow cloth and garlanded with yellow and purple flowers. He wears glasses, has a red tilak on his forehead and holds a microphone in both hands, speaking to an audience. Behind him is an ornate white arched frame and green curtain with gold dots. Red flower offerings lie at the base of the murti. The murti is black with a yellow cloth and yellow garlands. A shaved-headed speaker in white does not show distinctive a person cues, so the appearance is uncertain.
