A large hall with a navy blue backdrop and a banner reading "Yoga Sutra" above a raised stage. A figure in a bright blue robe, wearing a blue turban and a long blue beaded mala, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, flanked by vases of orange flowers. In front of the stage, many seated devotees in white clothes, some in orange or yellow, face the stage on red and pink mats. A video camera on a tripod stands at the right edge. The seated audience is large and mostly visible from behind, so the count is in the 21-100 range. The stage figure is shown in a photo, and the throne figure's appearance cues (blue robe and turban, beaded mala, throne setting) support a probable identification, though the face is too distant to confirm.
