He wears a rudraksha-style mala necklace and a cream shawl over his red garment.

Two seated devotees in white dhotis face the stage, one woman at a microphone and a man in white with a gold-bordered cloth seen from behind. A backdrop shows a red-toned tree and hills, with the words Gita and Satsang visible. A carved gold lectern stands at center.
