A speaker sits at the front on an orange-draped raised platform wearing orange and white robes with a red shawl, holding a microphone and gesturing as he speaks; a person with long dark hair sits in front of him. The audience wears white, cream, purple, orange and blue clothing, many sitting cross-legged facing the platform. A wooden stage with dark red curtains stands at right, with a small table and a speaker system behind the audience. The speaker appears to match the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair and saffron-orange robes, so the appearance is a probable match.2009-07-23A photograph inside a large white tented hall with hanging ceiling fans and tall cylindrical banners decorated with colourful patterns. At the left front, a seated speaker in orange robes sits on a low wooden stand before a microphone, with a water bottle and a blue box beside him, facing a long, wide-spread audience. Rows of people in white clothing sit cross-legged on colourful striped mats and orange cushions, several with red or yellow shawls and wearing white garlands or mala beads. At the back, a painted backdrop shows a deity murti in an arched frame among trees, with a small altar area and white chairs stacked along the right side. The scene suggests a seated discourse or satsang.A photograph of a sanskrit class held in a tented hall with a stage at left draped in dark red curtains.
