Most attendees sit on black plastic chairs, while others sit cross-legged on floor mats; many wear white, peach, orange and blue saris and salwar kameez. A woman in an orange top sits in the front foreground. Red curtains and framed portraits line the side walls, and a backdrop with a deity image and a large projection screen are visible on the stage. Speakers hang from the ceiling and white pillars frame the room. A figure in saffron stands near the stage at right, but the presenter's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance. The setting resembles a satsang or Bhagavad Gita discourse.
