A man in an orange-red sleeveless garment with a draped saffron dhoti stands and speaks into a handheld microphone at the centre of a large tented hall. His long dark hair is swept back and he has a full beard. Seated participants in black and white clothes sit on colourful striped rugs on the floor, many with eyes closed or heads bowed. Strings of orange, yellow and multicoloured paper lanterns hang from the white ceiling. The speaker's orange robe, long hair and beard give appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. Many people are visible, mostly seated in rows.
