A large hall viewed from behind rows of seated devotees in white shirts and dhotis, many on plastic chairs, others sitting on a red carpet. At the front, a raised white platform holds a central figure in orange robes seated before an ornate golden shrine flanked by two orange-clad standing figures and tall decorative pillars with colourful motifs. Two white-draped alcoves with illuminated deity murti flank the stage, and a video camera on a tripod is set up near the platform. Several saffron-robed attendants sit near the stage, and the setting suggests a satsang or discourse.
