A man seated centrally on the ornate golden throne wears a red-and-orange garment and a pink flower garland, with a crown-like headpiece, and appears to be giving discourse; this appearance-based label is probable Swamiji (probable), seated on the peetha. Behind him stands a large painted deity mural with multiple arms and a trident-like staff, and to the right a gilded arched shrine holds a decorated deity murti beside a bull figure. Several video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a central aisle separates audience rows of people in orange robes and white dhotis seated on red mats.2016-08-08September 04 20162016-09-04Interior of a hall with red draped curtains where a large crowd of devotees sits on the floor facing a golden throne stage.
