A photograph of an indoor meeting in a plain room with white walls and a wooden cupboard behind. A bearded elder sadhu with white ash marks on his forehead and bare chest, wearing an orange cloth, holds a red-covered book toward a younger man with long dark hair. That younger man wears an orange robe and a long garland of white, pink and green flowers, and smiles as he accepts the book. Two more men in orange robes stand at the left, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at the right. The sadhu is described by role only, since the page's claim of a person's presence is not established by appearance.
