A large indoor lounge aboard a cruise ship with wood-toned pillars, cream curtains and a potted plant, filled with a dense audience of devotees seated on upholstered chairs and sofas. Most wear white clothing, with some women in patterned saris and a few men in white kurtas. A man near the center wears an orange-brown shawl or wrap. Stage lights hang from a metal rig above the crowd. A framed seascape painting hangs on the left wall. The crowd faces forward toward the unseen speaker. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from this view.
