Wide view of a large hall filled with seated devotees in white clothes, many with orange or saffron shawls, facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure sits on a throne-like seat before an ornate golden backdrop decorated with green foliage and orange-and-yellow garlands, flanked by lamps. Red velvet drapes frame the stage, and overhead fans and fluorescent lights hang from the ceiling. Two cameras on tripods film the event. Side panels show framed photographs on the walls. The figure on the throne cannot be reliably identified from appearance, so the seated presenter is described by role only.
