A photograph taken indoors through a doorway with red-painted metal grill doors open to trees outside. A man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a dark-red bindi, wearing an orange-saffron unstitched robe and multiple rudraksha malas, walks forward with bare feet, looking to his left. A second man in an orange-saffron cloth and matching orange head wrap walks behind him, also barefoot and wearing rudraksha beads. The room has white walls, a red-tiled floor, a light blue refrigerator, a green folding chair with folded cloth on it, a red-framed window with bars, and a wall-mounted electrical box with a poster. The cues for the front figure are long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, which are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label.
