Flower arrangements top the backdrop. Several dozen devotees sit cross-legged on the floor facing the stage, many in white and orange clothing. A video camera on a tripod and a studio light are set up at the front. A seated figure in white is at the left edge. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse hall.
