A photograph of a discourse in a plain brick-walled hall. A man in an orange-brown robe, wearing a red and white flower garland and a gold necklace, sits on an orange cushioned seat behind a small table draped in blue and gold cloth with a vase of purple flowers. He gestures with one hand while speaking. Seated in white plastic chairs facing him are about a dozen devotees, including a bald man with orange-red cords, a woman with long dark hair in a ponytail, a child, an older white-haired woman, and a man in a blue checked shirt. To the left, a standing attendant in orange robes stands near the wall, and a pedestal fan and a harmonium-like instrument sit at the sides of the room.
