A photograph of a talk hall with a seated audience facing a raised stage. On a cream throne-style armchair sits a figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange head covering, holding hands together in front of the chest. A video camera on a tripod and a microphone stand are set before the stage, with a vase of flowers on a white pedestal to the left. Behind him a beige backdrop bears the words Yoga Sutra with a circular emblem, flanked by hanging orange, blue and red woven banners. Most of the audience wears white or light clothes and sits on black chairs, with a blank white board on an easel at the right. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identified by saffron robes and an orange head covering with distinctive seated presence; this is not a confirmed identification.
