A seated woman in an orange and rust-coloured robe sits on a leopard-print armchair on a low platform in a wood-panelled hall, with a tall striped and patterned cloth pillar behind her and a brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial at left. A man in a dark blue shirt and khaki trousers stands behind a studio light and tripod-mounted camera, filming. About a dozen seated attendees, mostly seen from behind, sit on the carpet and folding chairs, including a person in a red top, one in a green blouse and one in a white shirt. A projection screen is at left. A purple logo appears in the upper left corner and a copyright line overlays the lower right. Setting appears to be a teachers' training session.

A photograph of a seated audience in a wood-panelled hall facing a stage. On a cushioned gold-and-red chair sits a person in orange robes with long dark hair and a beaded mala, one hand raised near the chin. Behind them is a blank projection screen flanked by two colourful decorated pillars, and a floral garland arch with red bunting stands at right. Beside the chair is a brass lamp stand and a small table. Many people sit cross-legged on the floor in black, white, blue and orange clothing; several black T-shirts carry a printed portrait of a bald figure in white. A man with a garland in a green-shirted row sits at right near a rolled cushion. Studio lights stand on tripods at left.2006-05-10A seated teacher in an orange robe sits in a cushioned wooden armchair on a low white stage in a wood-panelled hall with a ceiling fan.

A tall cloth-wrapped pole with bright patterns stands at the back.
