Photograph of a discourse hall. A man with long dreadlocks and a bare chest, wearing a red-brown dhoti, multiple gold ornaments and a gold chain, sits on an ornate silver throne with a carved lion, holding a small wooden stick in his raised right hand while speaking. Seated devotees in white and orange-red garments, many with palms pressed together in namaste, fill the floor and rows behind him, and a pink wall and wooden door frame the back. Gong-like brass plates stand at the left edge. The seated figure on the throne matches the page-hinted a person through long dreadlocked hair, gold ornaments and a bare chest; this appearance-based label is probable only.
