A tented stage with pink fabric ceiling and white walls holds gilded ornamental thrones and shrine-like structures draped with multicoloured flower garlands. The central golden throne with a carved arch and kalasha-style finials is garlanded in red, yellow and green, and holds a seated figure in saffron-coloured clothing. A similar garlanded seated figure with a gold-and-orange cloth sits on a golden peetha to the left, beside a golden mount with a carved bird form. Tall golden pillars with lotus-like tops flank the central throne, and a red draped table with a television monitor sits in the foreground. Two people are visible on the stage area, seated on thrones, and the setting is a satsang-style dais.
