A photograph of a bald-crowned man in a pale yellow-and-white checked shirt and a rudraksha mala, seated close in conversation with another person in orange at the right edge. He has a red tilak on his forehead and is smiling. Behind them, people in white dhotis and gray trousers stand barefoot on a grey floor, and a purple and orange cloth lies at lower left. The man wears no saffron, long hair or crown, so there is no appearance-based candidate for the event's teacher.
