A man sits cross-legged on a red-draped platform outdoors, speaking into a handheld microphone and smiling. He wears a maroon-red sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered dhoti, gold armlets, a gold ceremonial necklace and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead and long swept-back hair. Behind him stands a large brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests and gold ornamental carving. A cup and a small wooden box sit on the red cloth in front of him, and a stone wall forms the background. Appearance-based label: a person, seated and speaking as the teacher in this discourse setting.
