A large hall with warm amber lighting and several ornate brass chandeliers hangs over rows of seated attendees on a red patterned carpet. Hundreds of people sit cross-legged facing a distant stage, many men in white dhotis and shirts, some in orange or red, and women in saris and kurtas, some wearing lanyards. Water bottles sit in front of the front row, and a few cameras and speakers stand at the sides. Wall panels with framed religious images line the far wall. No single person is clearly identifiable as the a person; the stage figure is not visible.
