Photograph of an indoor stairwell with peach-coloured walls, a grey-tiled floor and a blue metal banister. A figure in an orange saffron turban and orange robes walks down the centre with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered and smiling. Behind him a man in an orange robe is partly visible on the stairs. On the right, two men in white shirts and white trousers stand with palms pressed together, one bowing forward. Footwear is piled beside the wall and a shaded window shows palm trees outside. A date stamp reads 9 10:21 in red at the lower left, and a small logo appears in the upper right corner. The orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, orange turban and saffron robes. Four people are visible in the scene.
