A figure in a long saffron-orange robe and orange lower garment, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around the neck, walks forward with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Several men in white kurtas and white dhotis stand or sit with hands folded at left, one wearing a skullcap. An orange cloth rests on a black speaker, a fan stands nearby, and a projection screen and loudspeaker are at right.
