A seated man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala of dark beads across his chest and a tilak on his forehead sits on a white-covered seat, eyes lowered, with one hand on his lap. A man in a pale yellow shirt and glasses sits beside him on the left, holding a small white book or booklet toward him. Behind them, people in orange and white clothing stand, one holding a microphone on a stand, and a woman in white with a rosary-style mala and an ID badge stands near the top. The Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style setting suggests an outdoor satsang or discourse. Probable Swamiji is the seated orange-robed figure with long hair, mala and crown-less ascetic dress, shown receiving the book.
