A large audience of devotees, mostly men in white shirts and dhotis, sits in rows of dark theatre-style seats in an auditorium viewed from the upper balcony. On the stage a robed figure in orange and saffron sits on a raised seat draped with red and gold cloth, with flower garlands along the platform edge and a small green box and brass lamp nearby. A woman in a red sari stands to one side of the stage. A large screen on the left shows a video feed of a person in orange, and a technician in dark clothes works at a sound and video console. Red curtains hang behind the stage. The seated figure cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made.
