A large audience of men seated on red plastic chairs under a tent at an indoor-style event. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with lanyard-style ID cards and some with rudraksha-like beaded necklaces. Several people in the front row smile and talk, and one man in the foreground rests his hand on his chin. Behind them, a row of standing volunteers in white and a woman in orange stand near a backdrop. Banners across the top read Ananda Gallery with books, DVD/VCD, tapes and gift items, showing portrait photographs of a bearded saint in white and orange. A white draped curtain and green carpet fill the background. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the crowd itself; the banner portraits are printed depictions.
