Interior photo of a narrow concrete room with a doorway opening to darkness. A man with shoulder-length dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe over an orange top and holding a wooden walking stick, stands smiling in the foreground. Behind him a bearded man in a white dhoti and orange shawl steps through the doorway. Cardboard boxes and stacks of CDs and small packaged items sit on the floor at right, a white plastic chair sits at left, and a wall calendar and framed portrait hang on the wall. The first man has distinctive long hair and saffron robe cues, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) present in person.
