A large seated crowd fills a pink-walled hall at a person event. Many attendees wear white kurta-style clothing and white dhotis, and some have tilak marks and rudraksha malas. Men and boys sit in close rows on the floor, with a few women seen at the left and right edges. At the far left, a stage area has a red backdrop and an illuminated white throne-like seat with a central figure partly visible, but the figure's appearance is too uncertain to identify. Framed portraits and photo panels hang on the walls, and staff in white move between the rows. Golden railing posts run along the left foreground.2017-05-22May 27 20172017-05-27A large seated audience fills a hall at a satsang-style gathering.
