A photograph at an indoor hotel-style room with a seated long-haired man in an ornate gold-brocade kurta over white, sitting on a red-cushioned chair with a white cloth draped over his lap. He smiles and raises his right hand toward a standing older man in an orange button-up shirt, dark trousers and a red belt, who leans in and holds the seated man's raised hand near his own face. Behind them a woman in orange stands at left and white flowers sit on a side table. A wooden lectern, a potted plant and a patterned sofa appear in the background. The seated man is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance, with long swept-back hair and ornate clothing, while the page indicates the event was a Shiva Sutra discourse in Oklahoma. Two physical people are visible, plus a partially visible figure at left.
