Indoor hall at an ashram with a tent-like white ceiling and hanging colourful cloth banners. Thirty or more men in white shirts and dhotis sit cross-legged on mats in rows facing the front. Two men in saffron-orange robes sit on chairs in the centre, one speaking to the other, with a small table and flowers beside them. A raised stage at the right holds a figure in orange robes, and a dark curtain hangs on the left. a person seated on the central chair wears a saffron robe and has long, swept-back hair with rudraksha malas, appearing in person at a meeting with organisers.

A large seated audience in white clothes fills white plastic chairs in a tent-like hall, viewed from behind. On a raised stage at the far end, a figure in orange robes sits on a white ornate throne-style chair beside a small table with flowers. A dark maroon curtain with gold trim hangs behind the stage, and yellow and multicoloured elephant-patterned banners hang from the ceiling. Several fans and a camera on a tripod stand near the stage. The seated figure's face and features are too small to confirm identity, so the appearance-based label is uncertain.
