A large hall filled with a seated audience dressed mostly in black, sitting on striped mats facing a raised stage. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and holding a staff, sits on an ornate red and white throne-like chair, seemingly speaking to the gathering; a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and throne. Behind him stands a golden deity murti of a multi-armed goddess on a pedestal with a brilliant blue backdrop screen, flanked by brass oil lamps and gold ornaments. Red curtains frame the hall and a camera crane is visible at upper right.
