Photo from inside an auditorium during a Kalpataru session at a one-day meditation workshop. Rows of seated audience members, mostly men in white shirts, face a stage with a red curtain. On stage, a figure in orange sits on a white chair with a red carpet; the small figure is too distant for appearance cues, so a person is unsure. A large screen behind shows a portrait labelled "Kalpataru" framed in yellow and a banner of the same word. Many audience members wear headphones for translation. A sign on the right reads "PLEASE KEEP SILENCE". Ceiling fans hang overhead and the hall is dim-lit with stage spotlights.
