A large seated assembly faces a raised stage in a hall with red drapes and gold-framed panels. On a white ornate throne at centre sits a figure in orange robes with a saffron-coloured garment and shaved head, flanked by golden deity statues and microphones. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts sit on the floor with their backs to the camera, while some in orange monastic robes sit at the right side near the gold railing. Several video cameras on tripods film the stage. a person: the seated figure on the white throne wears saffron/orange ornate clothing and is presented as the central speaker, with a shaved head and no long hair, so the identification is uncertain.
