A photograph of a bare-chested priest seated before a microphone and a reading stand, with his hands folded, wearing rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold pendant, with white vertical marks on his forehead and arms. Behind him is a large life-size cutout portrait of a seated figure in a maroon turban and rust-coloured ornate robes, wearing layered gold necklaces, a floral garland, gold armlets and bangles, with one hand raised in blessing and a tiger-striped seat cushion. Brass oil lamps with red flowers flank the platform, and an ornate silver arch and gold curtain frame the scene.
