A photograph inside a large hall with cream tiled floor and ceiling fans. In the foreground, a circle of about a dozen devotees sits on red mats in white dhotis and white kurtas, many wearing red and orange shawls. One woman in an orange sari with a red shawl sits near the centre, and another woman in white and a striped shawl sits on the right. A man on the left gestures toward the circle while others listen. Behind them, more people in white sit on mats, and a gilded throne-like seat with a red and gold canopy stands on a raised stage at the back. A camera on a tripod and a television screen are set up near the stage.

Many participants in white clothes with red shawls sit cross-legged on red cushions facing a central figure on a high brown leather throne with a low orange-draped table before it.
