A photograph of an outdoor teaching session. A bearded man with a dark wavy shoulder-length hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a rudraksha mala wrapped around his neck sits on a low seat in a saffron-orange robe, holding a handheld microphone in his right hand. Around him, women in orange, red and yellow saris and salwar clothing sit closely, several with white and red forehead marks, some writing or holding notebooks and paper boards. A white stone pedestal with a carved base sits behind him, a small tablet stand rests on it, and a brass trident stands at the upper left. Brass figurines and small items lie in the lower right foreground.
