A photograph of a seated man on a wooden chair at the front of a hall, with a silver trident staff standing to his left. He wears a voluminous black hair crown, a yellow-and-red tilak across his forehead, a saffron-orange garment, and many dark rudraksha mala beads with a gold necklace. A small microphone stands beside him. Audience members, mostly women in white and orange, sit in rows behind and to the sides, some wearing lanyards. Appearance is not sufficient to identify the seated man, so the role is described as a seated teacher.
