A photograph from an indoor programme hall where a standing man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti, wearing glasses, holds a handheld microphone and speaks toward the audience. Seated devotees in white clothes fill the foreground and right side, several with hands on laps or chins. Large black loudspeaker cabinets stand on the right, and a printed map-style poster of India with photographs hangs on the upper-left wall. No deity murti or ritual objects are visible. The speaker's appearance does not clearly match a known candidate, so the identity is left uncertain.
