A stage set for a discourse hall with a gold ornate throne and a gold canopy umbrella behind it. A single person stands on the raised blue-skirted platform, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair, hands folded in front of the chest. A projection screen behind shows a figure in orange seated before a decorated altar. Red and pink flower arrangements sit at the platform edges and on a side table draped with white and pink cloth. A gold-draped skirting runs along the front of the stage, and a microphone stand stands at the left. A banner on the right reads a partial name over the word SHIVA beside a portrait. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair and saffron-orange robe, and the person stands before the ornate throne, so the figure is. The person is standing rather than seated.
