A hall with whitewashed walls, a metal roof and ceiling fans hangs colourful striped cloth banners from the rafters. A man in saffron-orange robes stands on a rug at right, speaking with a hand raised and a microphone on a stand beside him. Beside him sits a large orange-draped chair, a peetha-style seat with a red-edged rug beneath it. Around 15 seated men in white shirts, dhotis and trousers listen in plastic chairs, some holding notebooks or bags. A woman in orange and a person in white stand near a tripod-mounted camera at the back, and a few more people move near the left wall. Water bottles sit on a small table near the seat.
