Photograph from behind a large seated audience in a red-draped hall facing a raised red stage. A central figure in a red-orange robe with a tall red turban sits on a white throne-like seat behind a tall ornate stand, while attendees in white, orange and saffron shawls fill the foreground and sides. A large screen above shows a similar robed figure. Many audience members wear orange and saffron shawls, some seated on chairs, and a camera operator is visible at the left edge. The scene resembles a satsang or discourse, though the central figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
