A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, walks barefoot across a polished floor while raising his right hand in greeting. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Seated devotees in white clothes with white headbands and lavender bows fill both sides of the hall, and several sit in rows facing the aisle. Behind him a golden throne and red backdrop stand on the stage, with blue drapes, a projector screen and colourful decorated pillars overhead. A young man in a white shirt marked N.D.S.S. sits in the foreground.
