A photo of a teaching session in a temple gurukul hall with an orange-painted wall. In the right foreground a person with long dark hair, seen from behind, wears a red-orange cloth draped over the shoulder and sits cross-legged before a microphone on a stand. Facing them is a large crowd of young boys and some adults, seated closely; many wear orange or saffron robes, white dhotis with gold borders, orange and white head wraps, and rudraksha malas. A young girl in a yellow-green outfit covers her mouth in the lower left, and a boy in a white head cloth sits near the centre. The scene is a gurukul session with attentive students listening intently.

A person with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange and gold garment, sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat holding a handheld microphone and speaking. Dozens of children and young people sit on the floor before them; many wear saffron-orange robes, and a few boys wear orange turbans, rudraksha malas and gold-trimmed cloth. Behind them stand cabinets, wooden chairs and a red cushioned chair. The figure on the seat has distinctive long hair and a saffron-toned wrap, a candidate compatible with the page's reference to a person, though appearance is only probable.2015-06-25June 25 20152015-06-25A long-haired person in a red and gold saffron-toned robe sits cross-legged on a red cushioned platform, holding a black microphone and speaking to a seated group. Around them, many children and young people in orange and saffron clothing sit on the floor, some with white or orange head coverings and beaded necklaces. A small wooden table with an orange cloth stands beside the speaker, with chairs and cabinets in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with white walls. The seated speaker shows a candidate appearance with long hair and saffron clothing, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the speaker is described by role as a teacher addressing students.2015-06-25
