A large tented hall where a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat with a golden lion-form base, holding a microphone. In front, devotees in white clothes with orange shawls kneel around a long white cloth spread with folded blue-patterned mats, reaching toward it in a ritual gesture. A cameraman in white with an orange shawl stands behind the throne, and a seated audience in white and orange fills the background beneath a decorated tent with colourful hanging textiles. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and orange ornate clothing, a probable match for Swamiji in a throne-seated role.
