A large auditorium hall with a maroon curtain backdrop draped with white and gold swags, and a blank projection screen on the left. A person in saffron/orange robes with long swept-back hair sits on an ornate gold-and-brown cushioned throne on a raised stage, holding a small white card, with a microphone-style lectern beside him. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron robes, seated on a throne). An audience of mostly women with long braided hair sits on the floor in white and cream saris and salwar, facing the stage; a few people in orange robes sit among them. A sign on the left wall reads a mobile phone prohibition notice in English and Kannada.
