A large hall set for satsang, viewed from the back toward a raised stage draped in deep maroon curtains with scalloped cream valances. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne flanked by two golden lion figures, with brass lamps on either side. Colourful woven tassel banners in red, blue, yellow and orange hang from the ceiling. A central aisle runs between rows of stanchions toward the stage, lined by devotees seated on mats: many in white and pink, some in saffron and maroon, several with shaved heads in orange robes. Two large screens on either side show close-ups of a saffron-clad speaker. Microphones and cameras are set near the dais.
