Most attendees wear white or orange clothing, with women in white saris and some in orange robes, many sitting cross-legged on the floor.

A large seated audience fills a dimly lit tent-covered hall, most people in white and light-coloured clothing with many women wearing long braids. In the centre background on a raised stage, a figure in orange robes sits before a microphone beside a gilded throne-like chair, with a framed portrait on the stage and a deity murti on a side table. Yellow and patterned hanging banners decorate the ceiling, and printed photographs are displayed on the side walls. The scene appears to be a satsang gathering. Whether the seated figure on stage is a candidate for the described teacher cannot be determined from appearance at this distance.
