A photograph of a large seated audience in a bright hall. Centre stage, a man sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with a raised right hand, wearing a rust-red robe, a rudraksha mala with strands draped across his chest, and a tilak on his forehead. A keyboard-style Yamaha unit and a golden staff stand beside him. Surrounding the stage, many devotees sit closely packed, including people in white, saffron-red shawls, and a woman in a green patterned top in the foreground. The person on the throne shows distinctive long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-trimmed seating, appearance-consistent with the presentation of a person, seated as a speaker addressing the assembly.
