A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne on a raised stage, decorated with a green-and-orange floral arch, flower garlands at the base and a golden umbrella above. Maroon draped valances and a blue backdrop frame the stage, and a projection screen hangs at right. Seated devotees in the foreground wear white, yellow and orange clothing on colourful mats and cushions, while audience members in profile fill the lower left. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse hall with its stage setup. The figure on the throne has a visible saffron robe, which is the appearance cue, but the image is small and distant, so identity is uncertain.
