A large seated audience of women and men fills a tented hall with green carpet and red-and-white draped tent edges. In the foreground, several women in white and cream saris, one in a yellow blouse and others in pink, green and patterned saris, sit on red plastic chairs with their hands pressed together in greeting or clapping. Some wear lanyard name badges. Behind them, banners read Ananda Galleria with book, DVD and tape listings, and a pictured figure in a white turban appears on a banner. No speaker is visible, so no ritual or discourse is shown directly.
