A photograph of a seated teaching session in a red-draped hall. A man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood top, holding a tall golden staff, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him is a bronze relief of a seated deity with multiple arms. Around him, many women and girls in orange, saffron and white saris sit on red carpet, several with hands raised to their eyes in a blindfold-style gesture. Green potted plants flank the throne and a white portable cooler stands nearby. The speaker's appearance is uncertain and the page does not name him in this photo, so the figure is described by role as the seated teacher on the throne.
