A large hall filled with a seated audience facing a raised golden throne on the left. A bearded man with a tall dark turban-style hair wrap sits on the throne, wearing a red-orange garment, a long ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, with bangles on his arms, and he is smiling. Beside him stands a tall golden staff topped with an ornament. Rows of devotees fill the floor, many in white, saffron, pink and orange clothing, some with their palms pressed together in greeting. A standing fan and a microphone stand sit near the throne, and a digital clock on the back wall reads 01:34. Red curtains and white drapes frame the stage area. The left figure matches the appearance cues for a person, seated in a position of honour as a teacher.
