In the foreground a blonde woman with a hair tie and a wooden-beaded necklace faces the front.

At the far right front, a figure in orange robes sits on a cushioned throne-like chair beside flower vases, facing the audience.

A large seated audience fills a dimly lit tent-covered hall, most people in white and light-coloured clothing with many women wearing long braids.

Yellow and patterned hanging banners decorate the ceiling, and printed photographs are displayed on the side walls. The scene appears to be a satsang gathering. Whether the seated figure on stage is a candidate for the described teacher cannot be determined from appearance at this distance.
