A seated audience fills a hall with red-cushioned chairs during a talk at the Rotary Club of Bombay West. At the front, a figure in orange robes and an orange head wrap sits behind a small table with a microphone, facing the crowd. Beside the stage, a cameraman films with a large video camera on a tripod, and another person in white stands nearby. Attendees in mixed casual and formal clothes, many with grey or white hair, listen attentively, and one holds a booklet. Walls are cream-coloured with a wooden sign reading Rotary Club of Bombay West and a plaque reading Sheila Raheja Hall.
