A large indoor hall with a draped white ceiling decorated with hanging colourful paper tassels and round lanterns. A seated figure with long dark hair and an orange garment sits on a red-cushioned throne at the front, with a small table and vessels before him. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the floor, many in saffron, yellow, pink and green saris and kurtas, some in white. Two large screens on the walls show images of people. In the foreground a man in a green t-shirt stands facing the stage, and a woman in a white and yellow sari sits at the right edge. The seated figure on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, matching the page's cues for a person, seated as the speaker.
