A large crowd sits cross-legged on striped red and white mats facing the stage, many in white, and some in orange. Screens and a projector stand at the side of the stage. A man in orange robes, a person, is seated on the stage giving a talk to the audience.

A large hall during a seated discourse. Rows of audience members in white clothes sit on the floor and chairs, many seen from behind with bald and dark hair visible. On a raised stage under a grey drape, a golden ornate throne holds a seated figure in red-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold garland. Beside the throne stands a golden deity murti or ornate statue draped in flower garlands. Hanging banners with geometric patterns and orange tassels frame the stage, and projection screens flank it. A camera on a tripod records the proceedings.

Two orange-clad figures in the foreground sit upright with hands raised, and a small screen on a tripod shows a face. Candles and brass plates with offerings are set before the participants. Colourful cloth-wrapped pillars hang from a white canopy, and a red banner behind shows a portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure. Sunlight streams in from a side window.
