A man with long dark wavy hair and a moustache stands on an ornate stage holding a tall wooden staff upright in his right hand. He wears a rust-red kurta with a lace-up front and a darker red-and-gold sash tied at the waist, plus a gold chain and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him hang a deep red velvet curtain and brass bells on cords, with gilded lion-headed pillars and blue-and-gold temple-style carvings framing the set. The scene looks like a staged satsang or discourse setting.
