Photo of a monastic training session on a stage with purple drapery and yellow-and-blue ornamental hangings. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap sits cross-legged on a white cushioned seat before a red-and-gold cobra-shaped canopy, holding a microphone, with brass deity murti statues flanking the seat and a whiteboard to the side. Two people in white clothes, one with an orange shawl, sit with their backs to the camera facing the stage. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive saffron robes, though the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
