A large indoor hall under a white draped ceiling with colourful striped hanging banners in red, yellow, blue and orange. Rows of black plastic chairs face a stage at the far end, where a golden throne with ornate decoration and a golden seat with a kalasha-like finial sits in front of a blue curtain. Two white projection screens flank the stage. Many seated attendees, mostly men in white shirts and some in red or saffron clothing, face forward, with a few people standing near the front. On the right, a large red banner shows a portrait of a figure in saffron robes with a turban and beard, but it is a printed image, not a physical person. The scene is a satsang gathering.
