A large indoor hall with a polished tiled floor and wall posters. A group of devotees dressed in white sits cross-legged on the floor in a wide circle. Many wear white shirts, dhotis and white saris with gold borders; some have lanyards. In the centre, a figure in orange-red robes sits on an ornate brown high-backed chair on a low raised platform, with an orange cloth draped over a small table in front. A seated woman in a white sari with a long braid faces the chair in the foreground. The person on the chair wears a rudraksha-style neck garland and has long dark hair, but appearance alone does not establish identity, so the figure is described only by role as a seated teacher addressing the circle.
