A man in an orange sleeveless garment with a draped orange shawl and a dark rudraksha mala stands at left, smiling, with a horizontal vibhuti mark on his forehead and dark hair tied in a bun, one hand pressed on the crown of a younger man's head. The younger man wears a blue-and-white striped top and a red-beaded necklace and faces the older man with his palm raised. A red cloth and a banner with large white letters appear at left, and a partially visible person sits at far right.

Behind them, a white standing cooler, a dark red curtain, and out-of-focus women in white and light clothing sit or stand, with a video camera on a tripod at the right edge. Pale pink walls and a window frame complete the room. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed figure has long swept-back dark hair and orange shawl, cues consistent with the page title, and is in a teaching role, so the appearance is a probable candidate for in_person.2011-12-02
