A photograph of a room with terracotta-tiled floor, white plastic chairs and a painted wall with framed pictures. Seated in the centre is a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-beaded necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, appearing as a probable Swamiji in appearance-based terms. To his left stands an older grey-haired man, bare-chested and in a white dhoti with sacred thread marks, hands folded. Two men in white dhotis stand at right, one holding a gold necklace and the other with bare chest, and a cameraman with a video camera is visible behind them. A ceiling fan and fluorescent light are overhead.
