A central figure in orange-red robes with a garland sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) in the centre of the stage, with a seated attendant in orange to the left and another person in white nearby. Video cameras on tripods film the stage. A banner-like screen reads Inner Awakening. Camera equipment and cables are visible in the foreground.
