A large seated audience fills a hall while a man in an orange and saffron robe sits on a brown leather throne-style chair, chin resting on his hand, with a headset microphone. He wears an orange-red turban, rudraksha-style beaded malas, bangles and a gold-toned necklace. A tall silver trident stands beside the chair. Most attendees wear white with orange-red shawls. Pink-and-white patterned panels decorate the back wall, and a cameraman stands behind the crowd. The page labels the event as Varanasi, May 2015. a person appears in person, seated on the throne with a trident beside him.
