A hall-style photograph taken from the back of a seated audience during a discourse session. Rows of attendees sit on blue and beige plastic chairs, many wearing headphones for translation, with men in white shirts and women in saris and salwar kameez. At the front, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a raised orange-draped dais beside a golden ornate throne, while a woman in a yellow sari stands at the side. Behind the dais hangs a framed image and a white projection screen is mounted to the right. Shelves with display cases line the left wall, and a corrugated metal roof spans the room.
