A man in saffron-orange robes with red borders sits cross-legged on an orange mat, reading from a sheet of paper into a microphone while pointing at the text. He wears a red tilak mark on his forehead, a gold necklace and gold bangles. In front of him is a brass puja tray with a gold spoon, brass bowls, a small bell, a lamp and incense sticks, plus a bowl of apples, oranges and pears. Beside them is a red draped table with a framed garlanded portrait of a woman, pink carnation garlands and sunflowers in a blue vase. A dark stone object stands behind the table, and the setting appears to be a Hindu worship session with prayer reading.

Behind them are a red velvet cushion, white calla lilies and red flowers in a vase, and a red rope barrier with brass stanchions. The seated man in saffron has long swept-back hair?
