A large crowd of seated devotees fills a tented hall with white draped ceiling and rows of colourful hanging lanterns in orange, red, green and blue. Many attendees in white, saffron and bright everyday clothes sit cross-legged on the floor, some with bags and water bottles. At the front right, a standing figure in a dark robe holds a long staff near a microphone stand, with a large screen on the stage showing a close-up of a speaker. Two side screens display the same speaker. The scene resembles a satsang or discourse, though the central figure's appearance is too small and distant to confirm identity.
