A seated teacher in an orange robe and matching orange turban sits on a low sofa behind a glass table, holding a microphone and speaking in a brick-walled hall. Around him, roughly two dozen participants sit on the floor and on cushions, many wearing orange shawls, including a woman in orange with a dark plait and a man in a striped shirt. A water bottle, tea-light candles, a small red object and papers rest on the glass table. Whether the teacher is a specific person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the seated figure is described by role only.
