Indoor photo at an ashram hall under a corrugated metal roof, with orange-painted walls. On the right, a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange top and a rudraksha mala greets devotees with clasped hands, appearing to be the probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, though this is only an appearance-based label. Facing him, an older bespectacled man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together and smiles, while a younger man in white and a woman in pink stand nearby. Behind them, devotees in white shirts stand by a decorated deity murti altar in the background. Framed photographs and text panels hang on the left wall.
