In the centre, a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wears a rust-orange turban with a white ornament, a bare-chested orange-brown robe, and a gold-bead necklace with rudraksha-style beads. He stands in profile, facing right, with a gold-framed chair behind him. Around him, seated and standing devotees wear white, pink, blue and orange clothing, many with dark sunglasses-style eyewear and beaded malas.

A standing figure with very long dark hair wrapped in a rust-red turban, wearing a leopard-print wrap, a gold necklace and gold armlets, faces away toward a large projection screen showing a crowd. Seated participants in orange, white and multicoloured clothing fill the hall, many wearing rudraksha malas and dark-rimmed face or eye paint. A white curtain and a wooden door frame the room.
