A large hall during a seated Inner Awakening session, with a crowd of white-clad participants wearing red-and-white shawls seated on mats. At the centre, a bearded man with long hair, bare-chested, wearing a rust-red wrap, a heavy gold necklace, a gold cross-shaped pendant and a red-and-gold bracelet, sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne-like chair, gesturing with his right hand. Nearby, a man in white ritual dhoti holds a small ritual object, a woman in a yellow saree sits beside a wooden table with a small drum and a speaker, and two electric fans stand in the foreground. Participants in white and red shawls sit in rows behind, some with white pieces resembling sacred tablets or ritual items on their laps, and a digital clock shows 01:56 in the top right.
