A seated man in saffron-orange robes speaks into a microphone while holding a small silver vessel, a long dark-haired figure with a crimson tilak and layered gold and bead necklaces. Behind him, decorated deity murtis stand under a draped cream tent, adorned with yellow, red and white flower garlands, while a bright pile of pink flowers and small kalasha-like offerings decorates the floor. A partially visible woman sits near the offerings, and banana bunches and palm fronds hang at the left. The setting suggests a yajna or satsang with the teacher giving discourse.
