A large tented hall with a golden shrine behind the stage, featuring a deity murti in a gilded niche and a golden kalasha-style ornament, with red drapes and colourful hanging decorations. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe stands on a low platform, pointing upward with one arm, while a woman in saffron sari with a rudraksha mala stands beside him holding a small microphone. A large screen shows a projected image of a bearded man in saffron raising one arm. An empty white and red ornate throne sits at right beside a seated devotee in white. Dozens of seated participants on colourful woven mats fill the foreground, many in dark t-shirts. Swamiji (probable) is the bearded man in saffron robe, standing and gesturing to the audience, with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala cue.
