A photograph of a large hall during a discourse. A seated speaker in orange robes and an orange turban sits on a white raised dais at the far end, with a microphone before him. Two large portrait banners flank the stage, each showing a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes beneath a printed caption. A deep red curtain hangs behind the stage, and ceiling fans and recessed lights line the room. Rows of seated devotees fill the hall, many women in saris and men in white and light shirts, viewed from behind. The crowd appears to number in the hundreds.
