A photograph of a seated man with long dreadlocks and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, speaking into a handheld microphone while seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne-style chair. In front of him is a white electric fan. Behind him a large audience of people, mostly women in dark clothing, sits in rows in a hall with white drapery and a red column. Strong candidate appearance cues (dreadlocks, saffron shawl, throne, microphone) indicate a person teaching in person during a discourse session, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
