A photograph taken from the back of a large hall during a seated satsang talk. Rows of white plastic chairs are filled with mostly men in white shirts and dhotis, with some in light-coloured or checked shirts, plus a few with shaved heads. Hanging cylindrical banners with red, blue and yellow patterns and orange tassels drape from a white ceiling of fabric, and ceiling fans turn overhead. At the far end, a stage holds a small lit altar with an oil lamp and a deity murti, flanked by a projection screen showing a deity image. A purple-lit backdrop reads Freedom. No individual on the stage is identifiable in this view, so no speaker is identified.
