A seated man with long swept-back black hair, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, multiple rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets, and white ceremonial cloth wrapped around his body, reads a sheet of paper held in his hands. Facing him, a kneeling man in a blue-and-white striped polo shirt with a rudraksha mala raises his palms together in a respectful gesture, as in a satsang or personal guidance exchange. A red cushioned seat is behind the seated man, with an orange cloth at his feet and a small wooden box with objects on the lower left. Two blurred figures sit in the background near a window and an air conditioner. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a white ceremonial wrap, and is seated as the teacher in this exchange.
