Photograph from behind a large seated audience in a bright hall with a patterned ceiling and hanging orange-yellow decorations. Hundreds of devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, many in white, orange, pink and blue clothing. Near the centre front, a figure in orange-saffron robes with long dark hair sits on a raised golden seat beside a gold-coloured ceremonial object, appearing to address the gathering; the appearance is consistent with a person, though uncertain. Two large screens on the walls show a close-up of a similarly robed figure and a crowd. A camera tripod stands at the far right.
