A photograph of a seated person in an orange robe with a gold-trimmed border and a heavy gold bead necklace, facing a man in white ritual clothes with a pink-and-gold bordered shawl, a rudraksha mala and glasses. They sit close on a cream cloth in front of a maroon cushion, and the man in white holds a small card or paper while the figure in orange holds a pen and writes on it. The setting is an indoor satsang space with a pale cloth backdrop. The seated figure in orange has long dark hair partly visible and no clear appearance-based cues for a person beyond the orange robe and gold necklace, so identity remains uncertain.

A photograph of two men seated on a cream-colored couch with a dark red cushion behind them. The man on the left wears a saffron-orange garment with gold border and a long ornate gold necklace with bead-like pendants, a dark rudraksha-style cord at his neck, and his hair in a bun; he is writing on a sheet of paper.

The photo shows one physical person.2011-02-20A photograph taken at night of a man in an orange saffron robe seated at a white-draped table, writing with a blue pen in an open bound guest book.
