A large indoor hall filled with a seated audience of many devotees, mostly in white, orange, saffron and red clothing, with some women in saris and salwars. At the right, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing orange-brown robes and a leopard-print cloth, sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion arms, holding a tall gold staff topped with a ceremonial finial. A large white projection screen hangs at the back, a standing white fan stands in the middle of the audience, and a wall sign lists photography and video rules in multiple scripts. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, identified by his long hair, orange robes, leopard-print cloth and gold staff, and seated in a place of honour during the gathering.
