Photograph of a stage at an outdoor tent event with a painted forest-and-waterfall backdrop showing deer, monkeys and a river. Seated on white sofas in a row are several people: at left an elderly saffron-robed monk with a shaved head holds a microphone and speaks; beside him a bald monk in orange robes and dark glasses sits with hands clasped; next a man in white kurta and cap sits with a hand near his face; then a white-bearded elder in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl; a woman in a red-brown sari with a gold necklace; and at right a man with a tall orange turban, rudraksha mala and orange robe. A few other attendees sit at the edges. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance alone, so role descriptions are used.
