A photograph of a seated man in a white shirt and white dhoti speaking into a microphone on a stage with dark red curtains. He sits on a white plastic chair while a group of young men dressed in white kurta-style clothes sit on the floor around him in a semicircle, several wearing rudraksha malas. A water bottle sits on the floor, and small oil lamps with flames glow along the white stage steps. The man in the chair has short hair and no visible crown, turban or saffron clothing, so his identity is uncertain.
