A large tented hall with white draped walls, red curtains and colourful hanging lanterns and tassels overhead. Seated on a raised red-cushioned throne at centre is a bare-chested man with long dark hair under a red and orange turban, wearing a leopard-print cloth, a red shawl and a beaded necklace, holding a tall golden trident. Beside him is a golden ceremonial figure and a projection screen on the right shows an image. A dense audience of several hundred people in white and colourful clothes fills the foreground and seating area, many seated and looking toward the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, turban, saffron-red shawl, rudraksha-style beads and trident match the appearance cues for the presenter at this satsang event.
