A young man in a white shirt with a green-and-white striped edge stands at a white podium with a microphone on a stand, speaking to an audience out of frame under a tent with yellow valance and white canvas. Behind him a large yellow banner shows a smiling man with long hair, a cream-coloured turban, a red bindi and an ornate gold-embroidered dark garment; he is depicted as a portrait on the banner. A bright stage light stands at left. The banner is a printed depiction, not a physical person, so the only physical speaker is the man at the podium.
