A photograph of a seated figure with long dark wavy hair, bare-shouldered in a patterned leopard-print garment layered with many rudraksha malas, holding a long metal spear-like staff toward a man facing him. The seated figure wears an orange cloth on the seat in front and a red garment; he is bare-armed with rudraksha bracelets. The standing man wears a striped light-blue shirt and an orange shawl over his shoulders, his palms pressed together in anjali. Behind them, blurred figures in white and orange clothing sit or stand in a hall with a white air cooler and a maroon curtain. The seated figure's identity is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) given his long hair, rudraksha malas and distinctive adornments, seated in the role of the teacher receiving the questioner.
