A figure with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing saffron-orange robes, a white garland with pink, blue and yellow flowers, sits on a raised white seat facing the audience and gestures with a raised hand toward a microphone on a stand. Around thirty or more devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing rudraksha malas, with several women in saris at the back, smiling and listening. Flower petals lie at the speaker's feet.
