A large audience of devotees sits cross-legged on the floor of a hall facing a raised stage framed by deep red curtains. On the stage a seated figure in red and yellow draped clothing sits before a golden ornate throne decorated with a large deity murti or framed image above, flanked by gilded pillars topped with flower arrangements. Several cameramen with tripods and cameras film the stage at the left and right edges. Most attendees wear white, blue, yellow and maroon shirts and kurtas, with many shaved or dark-haired heads visible from behind. The setting suggests a formal satsang or discourse.
