Wide view of a hall filled with seated devotees facing a raised stage draped in red and gold curtains. On a white ornate throne at centre sits a figure in orange and red robes with a red turban, a probable Swamiji depicted in saffron-orange attire. Gold-finished pillars and standing ornamental figures flank the stage, and video cameras on tripods film the event. Attendees in white kurtas, saffron robes and bright shirts sit in rows of chairs. A large screen to the left shows a close-up of the same robed figure in a red turban. Ceiling fans and a fluorescent-lit ceiling complete the setting.
