A seated teacher in a dark red-maroon turban and maroon-and-gold robe sits in a large brown leather armchair, wearing a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with gold ornaments and a small headset microphone, gesturing with one hand while speaking. A dense audience of devotees sits cross-legged on the floor in front, many in white and orange clothing, some holding phones. Behind the chair stands a figure in white with a mala, a second person in orange, and a large framed portrait of a saint in orange hangs on the wall, with a wooden door and a glass water bottle on a small white table nearby. The teacher appears to be giving a talk or webinar-style satsang. The image is a candid event photograph of a discourse hall.
