Photograph of a seated audience in white clothes with orange shawls at an indoor session. In the foreground, rows of seated participants, some with white head coverings, wear white garments and orange wraps. A standing man in the background, in the doorway, wears an orange-brown wrap, a gold necklace and long dark hair; the appearance cues are suggestive but not conclusive, so he is labelled a possible Swamiji candidate. A video camera on a tripod stands at left, and a wall sign lists photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording as prohibited. A large projection screen is mounted at upper right.
