A discourse hall with brick and stone walls, a large painted sunburst with red-tipped rays above the stage, and a golden trident on a stand at right. A figure in orange robes with a long hairstyle and a garland sits on an orange-cushioned seat, one hand raised mid-speech; the figure is a candidate for a person, based on the swept-back long hair, orange robes and rudraksha-style beaded garland. In front of him sits a small pair of deity murti in orange and gold on a pink-petalled cloth. Around 30 seated and standing devotees in white, orange and patterned shirts face the stage, with camera operators and lights at the sides and edges.
