A photograph of a seated teacher in a dark red-brown robe with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, smiling as he sits on an ornate brown leather throne-style chair with carved wooden armrests. He holds a pair of wooden sticks and a small pink water bottle sits on an orange-draped table beside him. Around him, a large seated crowd faces him: many women and men in white and orange clothing, some with white tilak markings on their foreheads, several wearing red and brown beaded garlands, and a few with light hair. Rows of empty red chairs fill the background of a hall. A small Yamaha speaker sits on the orange table. The scene appears to be a satsang or teaching session. The person on the throne is a person, identified by the brown robe, rudraksha mala, and ornate throne, but his face is not used for identification.
