A large audience of devotees sits cross-legged on a bare concrete floor inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights. Most wear white ritual clothes, several with white or orange-bordered shawls and beaded necklaces. A man in the foreground left with an orange shawl holds a camera at his shoulder and looks toward the front. A woman in white with a yellow-bordered sari sits with hands pressed together in namaste. In the bottom right corner a monk in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits with palms joined. Framed photographs and banners line the far wall behind a metal railing, and a standing man in white stands at the right edge. Several people in the crowd are visibly smiling, and some are seated on a raised area near the rear. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse gathering.2009-02-16December 23 20082008-12-23Evening satsang in a large open hall with a crowd of devotees seated on the floor, mostly in white clothes, facing a stage at the far end.
