He stands at the centre-left, turned slightly to his right. Behind him several young men in white and striped shirts, some with orange cloth at the collar, watch closely in a crowded hall. A white electric fan and seated devotees in white are visible in the background. The setting suggests a darshan gathering at a convention.
