In the foreground a man with grey hair in white clothes sits on a chair facing a raised, flower-covered throne draped in green fabric, with red petals spread on the platform. Many rows of seated devotees in white clothes, some with white and orange head cloths, sit on the ground and mats. A microphone stand and speaker stand near the front, and a bright light beam crosses the scene. Reddish-orange walls appear behind the trees.
