A large seated audience fills a bright hall with cream walls and golden railings in the foreground. Most men wear white dhotis and kurtas, several with white or tripundra forehead markings, and some wear orange or saffron shawls. A few men in striped shirts and glasses sit among them, and a man in a white shirt with a yellow identity badge sits at front right. Behind them, more seated devotees and standing people in orange and white clothing face toward the front, with framed posters on the far wall. No individual can be identified as a person from appearance, so no person is labelled as Swamiji.2017-08-26Jun 18 2017June 01 20142014-06-01August 26 20172017-08-26A large outdoor crowd fills the frame at an evening public gathering, mostly men and women dressed in white, with many wearing headphones for translation.
