Wide view of a large hall during a satsang discourse. A seated speaker in orange-red robes sits on an ornate golden throne with carved gold pillars, flower garlands and a maroon drape behind him, on a raised white stage. Two camera tripods and a cameraman stand at the stage edge, and a standing attendant in white is at right. Rows of seated audience members in white shirts and mixed clothing face the stage, with a few in saffron. A projection screen and a monitor show the event at left and right. A sign on the stage reads Photography in front of the stage is not allowed. The speaker's appearance is too distant to confirm identity, so the figure is recorded as unsure.
