A photograph of a hall during a satsang-style discourse. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange robe, sits with his back to the camera on a raised white stage facing the audience. Before him are a Yamaha keyboard, a drum kit, a tabla-style drum and a white tower fan on an orange-draped box. Rows of seated devotees in white clothes fill the floor, sitting on striped mats. Colourful striped pillars and white draped ceiling fabric decorate the room, and a dark red curtain hangs behind the stage. A video camera on a tripod is visible at left. The man is an appearance-based candidate, with long hair and orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji seen from behind.
