A large seated congregation of devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and red-orange shawls fills the foreground, viewed from behind. Many are bald or shaved-headed, sitting cross-legged on white sheets across a red-carpeted floor. On a raised stage at the back, a figure in orange robes sits on a golden-accented seat before a painted backdrop of deity figures, with brass oil lamps and ceremonial staves flanking him. A large screen at upper right shows a close-up of a man in orange and red attire. A camera on a tripod is set up near the stage. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse.
