A photograph of an indoor seminar stage. A long-haired man in a cream embroidered kurta with a red bindi touches the face of a seated man in a grey-and-blue striped polo shirt, who leans toward him. Behind them a large backdrop shows a smiling man in a white turban and dark garment, with the words SHIVA and SUTRA visible in bold letters. A red and gold draped cloth hangs beside it. Pink and red roses and green foliage sit on a red-covered table, and a silver tray rests on a white-draped table. Two physical people are visible. The man in cream is a person, identified by long swept-back hair, a red bindi, an ornate cream embroidered kurta, and gold-toned adornments; the appearance is consistent but not fully certain.
