A discourse hall with a raised white stage draped in navy and maroon curtains and white swags. A figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, flanked by flower arrangements and small white cylindrical speakers on orange pedestals. Drums and cymbals stand at the left of the stage. Around twenty-five seated devotees fill the foreground on red-and-blue striped mats, mostly shaved-headed men in white ritual clothing, some with white shawls or yellow sashes, facing the stage. Two projection screens flank the hall and a large orange and white banner hangs at right. The seated figure on the throne wears orange robes and appears to be a person, given the orange clothing and throne seating, though the face is too small to confirm.
