Photograph of a group walking through a doorway in a plain interior. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and red markings on his chest, smiling and gesturing with his hand, is at centre. Beside him a man in white shirt and dhoti walks in the foreground. Behind them men in white dhotis and shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, follow, and a man at left holds a garland of yellow and pink flowers. A woven mat lies on the floor at bottom, and a printed notice is pinned to the wall at right. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in the orange robe, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala; he is in person.

A photograph of an indoor room with a tiled floor where a man in an orange saffron robe and orange dhoti with a red border stands barefoot at centre with palms pressed together in namaste. He has long dark hair, a beard and a rudraksha-style bead necklace. Behind him a line of people in white kurta and dhoti or white salwar clothing, several wearing orange lanyards with ID cards and small tricolour badges, stand barefoot with hands folded. A woman in white stands at right of the group. A man in an orange shirt and dark trousers stands arms crossed by the wall at right. A doorway and window with a wire mesh grille are behind them.
