A photograph of a large indoor hall with cream walls and a dark maroon curtained stage. A man with long dark hair stands barefoot on a cream carpet runner in the centre aisle, wearing a saffron-orange wrap with a gold-bordered cloth and an orange garland around his neck. Seated devotees in white clothes fill black plastic chairs on both sides of the aisle, and a few wear orange garments. On stage stands an ornate gold throne-like seat, and a camera on a tripod is set up near the front. Two projection screens flank the stage and a podium and whiteboard sit nearby. The man in saffron may be a person, identified by long swept hair, saffron garb and a garland, and is standing in the aisle.
