A large indoor hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees on red mats, many in white and bright saree or kurta colours. At the centre a figure in orange-and-saffron robes with a red turban sits on a gold throne with a tall ceremonial staff, possibly a sannyasi or teacher; the figure's identity is not established by appearance. Colourful paper lanterns and tassels hang from the ceiling, two large screens flank the stage and a camera on a tripod films the gathering.
