A red-draped table in front holds framed photographs and books, with a garland-trimmed white cloth along the edge. Behind him, a saffron cloth hangs on a white partition and a red-draped altar with flowers, water bottles and a golden deity murti stands at right. Audience members in white, orange and patterned clothing sit on chairs and the floor, some with shaved heads. A camera on a tripod and a studio light are visible at right, and an exit sign hangs on the wall.
