A large hall during a seated gathering. A figure in orange robes sits on an elevated golden throne with red cushions at the back of a stage, framed by grey drapes and tall decorative pillars with red, blue, yellow and white patterns and orange fringed hangings. Two monks in orange robes sit on the stage, one near the front and one standing at the right edge beside a camera on a tripod. A row of white-clad people sits in front of the stage. In the foreground, a large audience of men and some women sits with their backs to the camera, wearing white shirts, pink, red and striped clothing. The figure on the throne is a presence with a flowing orange garment, and the scene reads as a satsang or discourse. The throne figure's identity is uncertain from appearance.
