A large audience of men sits cross-legged on orange mats in a hall facing a stage. Most wear white kurtas and white dhotis, while a few wear brighter shirts such as a teal-blue shirt and a yellow checked shirt. On the stage a large ornate golden throne-style chair stands before a dark backdrop with a gold emblem, beside a concentric green, yellow and red target graphic on a screen. Maroon and white swags decorate the stage valance, and a projection screen hangs at the left. The person in the centre-foreground is seated among devotees during a discourse, and a figure seated on the throne could be the a person, though that is uncertain. Several attendees hold printed papers.
