A photograph of an indoor teachers' training session in a wood-panelled room with a large projection screen and a brass oil lamp on a side table. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a red bindi, sits on an ornate cream and gold armchair with red trim and holds a microphone while smiling and gesturing with one hand. Around him, several people stand and clap: a man in a white kurta, a woman in a white blouse, a woman in a pink-orange shawl, a woman in a light blue sari, and a woman in a light blue top and white head covering. A seated man in a black shirt and glasses claps in the foreground, and a steel tumbler sits on a small white-draped table beside the chair.
