A photograph of a seated man in a bare-shouldered saffron-orange wrap and orange dhoti, with long dark swept-back hair and a garland, placing his right hand on the crown of a grey-haired man in white who is bowing before him. Behind them a video camera on a tripod records the scene, and a person in white stands in the background. Ornate brass lamps with lit wicks stand at right, with a red cloth draped nearby. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan gathering. The orange-clad seated figure shows cues consistent with the a person description, so the appearance is a probable in-person match.
