A large hall audience faces a seated figure on an ornate reddish-brown throne at the front. The seated person wears a dark cap, an orange and gold shawl over a saffron garment, and layered beaded necklaces; a person by these cues, seated as a guru taking questions. In the foreground, a man in a white hooded robe stands with his back to the camera, facing the throne as if asking a question. Seated devotees in white, orange and multicoloured clothes fill the floor, with rows of attendees in chairs behind. Wooden wall panels line the room.
