A seated man in orange-red robes speaks into a microphone from a raised golden-canopied dais beside a small wooden lectern, with a water bottle nearby. Bronze standing deity statues flank him, and brass oil lamps stand along the platform. Seated in front, devotees in white dhotis and white garments with orange sashes listen; one bowl holds flower petals and a brass kalasha-like vessel sits at right. The setting is an open temple courtyard with red walls and carved pillars. The scene resembles a satsang discourse. A trident-topped ritual object stands in the foreground.
