Photograph of a stage event with a banner reading "SHIVA SUTRA" in large letters behind the speakers. A long-haired man in a cream-white robe with a gold-trimmed shawl sits on the left, gesturing with an open hand and smiling toward a man in a red shirt and glasses who stands in profile at right. Behind them, a larger smiling figure in a beige turban and dark garment appears on a backdrop, and purple and yellow flowers decorate the table. The seated man's long hair, white robe and gold ornamentation match the appearance cues associated with the page's subject, so this is a probable match, though the appearance is not conclusive. He is shown in person.
