Photograph of a courtyard session in an ashram hall. A bearded man with a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair sits on a gold-trimmed raised throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a maroon robe and holding a handheld microphone; a small desk with a red cup sits before him. Seated on the floor in front are several people in saffron-orange robes, some with shaved heads, and one person in a white garment. Behind the throne stand carved wooden pillars, a dancing Nataraja-style metal relief, a bronze figure on the left, and a whiteboard on the right. The white-clothed figure and devotees appear in a ritual teaching setting.
