A seated audience fills a warmly lit hall with wood floors and dark blue drapes during a satsang programme in Vancouver. Many devotees sit cross-legged on the floor, many in white and pastel clothes, while a few stand near the front. On the back wall hangs a large poster of a bearded man in a white turban and dark robe against an orange background. Flower arrangements and a camera on a tripod sit at the left edge. Two tall framed images flank the wall, and a standing lamp lights the scene.
