A photograph of a large stage hall during a seated discourse. A figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate white throne with a canopy, beneath red drapes and gilded pillars with carved figures. Rows of devotees sit on the floor facing the stage; many wear white dhotis and orange shawls, with several shaved or long-haired heads visible from behind. Camera tripods and video cameras stand at the sides, and a microphone is placed before the throne. A brown chair stands in front of the stage and small oil lamps sit along the edges. The throne figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is only moderately distinctive, so the identity remains uncertain.
