A stage event with a large gilded relief of a four-armed deity murti behind the set, flanked by red curtains. A man seated in a red cushioned throne chair wears an orange-red turban, an orange robe, a long white flower garland, gold necklaces and gold armbands, holding a silver staff and gesturing with one hand; this seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, with the turban, orange robe, and ornate gold necklaces as cues. Beside him, a person in a gold and yellow sari sits on a gold-framed seat wearing a black blindfold, holding a white sheet, while a woman in a pink and green sari stands at right with a microphone and camera nearby. Several attendees in cream and orange clothing with rudraksha mala sit at the edges.
