Seated near the centre on the floor, a man in saffron-orange robes with long hair and a red-and-gold headwrap or crown-like head covering addresses the audience, with a small wooden desk before him. Behind him on a big screen, a figure in a red-and-gold setting appears above a rocky base, with decorative gold tridents or staffs displayed on the stage. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the floor, many in white, saffron, pink and blue clothing, some with bags and chairs, and rows of colourful tassel decorations hang from the ceiling.
