A photograph inside an open-sided tent with an orange canvas roof and yellow draping behind a gold ornate throne. A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne with palms pressed together in namaskar, under a gold canopy. Around the throne, several devotees kneel on orange cushions facing him: figures in white kurtas and white dhotis, a woman in a white sari with a gold border, and a person in a yellow shawl. Brass bowls sit on the floor in front of the throne, and the foreground is a wooden floor. The throne figure's appearance is not clearly identifiable, so this is described by role only as a seated teacher receiving devotee pranams.
