Wide photograph of a large indoor hall packed with seated devotees, most in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas, with some in darker or coloured clothing. Ceiling fans and a green wall frame the hall. On the decorated stage at right, a person in orange robes sits at a white-draped lectern speaking into a microphone, with a camera on a tripod beside the stage. At the centre of the stage, a flower-covered ornate shrine or throne is decorated with garlands, and a small deity murti sits within it. Framed portraits hang on the walls and a large screen displays a figure at upper right. The event appears to be a discourse or satsang.
