A seated teacher on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and a red-and-gold canopy addresses a large assembly on a stage with red velvet curtains behind. He wears an orange-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and a patterned headband, with a microphone before him. Video cameras on tripods stand at the sides of the stage. The audience sits on the floor in front, many dressed in orange and saffron, some in white, with women visible in the rows, all facing the stage.
