A seated audience of devotees fills the floor of an indoor hall facing a raised stage. Many women wear white clothes with orange shawls and some sit on white plastic chairs, while others sit cross-legged on striped mats. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a white cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne with a red canopy, and a second figure in orange stands to the right holding a staff. Colourful woven hangings with elephant motifs hang from the ceiling, and a camera on a tripod records the gathering. Some devotees hold notebooks. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse.
