A large hall with pale blue walls and a row of ceiling fans hosts a seated crowd of devotees, mostly dressed in white, filling the floor and plastic chairs. A man in white with an orange scarf stands at the left holding a video camera on his shoulder, while a woman in a red top sits at the right beside a white-covered couch. In the centre foreground, a figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on a red-and-blue mat near a water bottle; this figure has long hair and an orange wrap, a combination consistent with a person candidate, though the appearance is not definitive. Devotees in white saris and dhotis sit with hands folded, and some are raising hands.

In the left foreground, a woman in a red sleeveless top with long dark curly hair raises her arm toward the crowd beside a white-draped seat with a red-patterned cloth. Center foreground, a man in white and another in white with an orange-trimmed shirt stand near a brass tray of yellow fruit and a bowl of pink flowers. A woman in a white sari with an orange border and red beaded necklace stands at right. Crowd count is well above twenty but I cannot reliably count, so the band is 100+.

On the right, a figure in an orange dhoti and red sleeveless top sits on a white cushioned seat with a long dark hair and an orange turban; the figure appears to be a person seated on the dais, with a rudraksha mala visible on a bald man in orange nearby. Devotees in front wear saffron shawls, white kurtas and a woman in a green sari with gold necklace stands among the crowd. Audio equipment and a mixing table sit on the stage side, with a fire extinguisher on the wall.
