A woman in a cream sari with turquoise border stands at a clear acrylic lectern holding a sheet of paper and speaking into a gooseneck microphone. A rudraksha mala hangs around her neck. Behind her, a large hall is filled with seated audience members: many children and young people in saffron and orange robes, some with white tilak markings on their foreheads, and adults in white and orange clothing. Several saffron-robed sannyasis sit in the front rows. Framed portraits hang on the walls, and a small placard on the lectern is labelled as a speaker. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights are visible overhead.
