A seated figure in a saffron-red robe with a gold ceremonial necklace and long dark hair speaks into a microphone from a low wooden lectern on a golden-framed platform in a temple hall. Behind him stand a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva in an arch and two green-bronze attendant statues holding lamps, with brass oil lamps and a trident on the left. The audience, mostly seated with their backs to the camera and dressed in white, fills the foreground. Garlands of yellow flowers hang on the pillars.
