A photograph of a seated congregation in a plain white-walled hall. Many devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on mats facing a raised platform at the far left. A person in orange robes sits on the platform speaking into a microphone, with a purple and gold decorated seat behind them. A video camera on a tripod films the audience from the right. Several devotees wear red or orange shawls and some have white caps. A blue-painted stand sits in front of the platform beside a water bottle. The scene suggests a talk or darshan session.
