A man with long swept-back dark hair and a tilaka-style mark on his forehead sits on an ornate brown leather throne-style chair with carved wooden armrests. He wears orange-saffron robes, a thick multi-strand rudraksha mala, a green bead necklace, and a gold pendant on a chain, with bracelets on his wrist, hands folded in his lap. Behind him a large seated audience of women and men in colourful saris and casual clothes fills the hall, some wearing red lanyards.
