A large indoor hall packed with a dense crowd of devotees seated on the floor, mostly women in white and pastel saris and salwar kameez, with men in white shirts and dhotis further back. Many wear name badges on lanyards. Several women in the front rows sit with hands folded or attentive expressions, and a row of people sits on a raised stage at the top left. Two video cameras on tripods film from the middle aisle, and a tall loudspeaker stands at the left edge. A banner with a portrait hangs high on the back wall, and arched windows and a wooden door line the white walls. The scene suggests a satsang or event gathering, and the crowd is well over one hundred people.2009-01-25July 22 20132013-07-22November 11 20152015-11-11A large photograph of a convention hall with a packed audience of women seated on red mats, many in white saris with lanyards and name badges, others in colourful saris of blue, yellow, pink and orange.
