A photograph of a seated spiritual teacher on a brown leather throne with gold-carved lion-head armrests, in a bright hall with cream walls and a large screen above. He wears a rust-red wrap, a red-and-gold sash, a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hair is swept up high; a headset microphone is visible. He is seated barefoot with a smile. In front of the throne stands a silver trident (trishul) and a low wooden table holding a water bottle. Behind him, a large audience sits on the floor in saffron, orange, yellow and white clothing, with some people wearing orange shawls; many are partly visible in the foreground. a person is seated on the throne wearing rudraksha mala, red-and-gold ceremonial clothing and swept-up hair, presiding over the gathering.
