A press interview or media conference held in a hall with pink-washed walls, ceiling fans and a wall clock. Seated at a long white-draped table, a row of monks in saffron-orange robes and men in white shirts listen, with microphones on stands before them. A man in a white dhoti and yellow shawl stands centrally, facing the room. Behind him, camera operators with video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala hangs on the left wall beside a wooden bookshelf. Several seated journalists in the foreground have their backs to the camera.
