A man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at a metal railing, eyes lowered, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Behind him stand a man in white ritual clothes with hands folded and a woman in a grey-blue sari. A wall sign with blue background lists rules in English and Kannada, and white and blue plastic chairs are stacked along the wall beside a blue curtained window and an orange lattice grille. The orange-robed man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a tilak, with his role as a devotee praying at the railing.
