A photo of a classroom-style session in an ashram room. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap and sitting barefoot in a black leather chair before a microphone on a stand, holds a water bottle and gestures while speaking. Around him on the floor sit about a dozen young women in white with orange shawls, several laughing, one covering her mouth, others with hands folded or holding books. A green notice board with papers and pictures hangs on the white wall, and a small framed portrait is visible at upper left. A red rug with cream patterns lies in front of the chair. The orange-wrapped speaker appears to match the appearance cues of a person, seated as the teacher of the group.2006-09-20Photo of an English class in an ashram room with cream walls and a green notice board pinned with papers and brochures.

About a dozen women in white ritual clothes sit on the floor, many with orange shawls, some smiling, one holding a book and a pen, another with her hand to her mouth.
