The standing figure has tall dark hair piled high, wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a matching orange shawl draped over the shoulder, and a garland of flowers around the neck. A trident-topped staff stands beside the platform, and a microphone is placed nearby. Behind the platform hang a red and gold banner, framed religious paintings and a pennant reading the event title. Many devotees in white, orange and red clothing sit on chairs, some with palms joined in anjali. Whether the standing figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described by role only as a speaker on the dais.2015-12-08 +1 copiesDecember 09 20152015-12-09December 08 20152015-12-08A photograph of a seated teacher on an ornate brown throne at the front of a beige-walled hall, addressing a large audience of devotees seated on the floor.
