A large hall with red curtains and a bright blue backdrop featuring a deity murti at the top of the stage. A bearded man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate white-and-red throne, one arm raised and a microphone in his hand, addressing a seated audience. Gold ceremonial staffs line the stage. Hundreds of participants sit on colourful mats in black, blue, green and white clothing, many facing the stage; a woman in a white top stands in the foreground and cameras are mounted on tripods at the sides. A man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a long-haired person in orange sit near the front. a person appearance is an uncertain candidate: the seated man in saffron wears orange clothing and long hair, but the photo is distant and the appearance is not sufficiently clear.
