A figure in white dhoti with a rudraksha-style beaded cord and long hair stands at the lower right. No identification of any individual is made.

Outdoors on red-brick temple steps lined with black stone lingam-style pillars, several saffron-robed ashram members stand at the top. One pours from a small container while another holds a red flag near a white metal railing. Below, a man in a light blue shirt and white trousers and a man in white clothes stand facing a central figure in a rust-red robe with a rudraksha mala, arms raised mid-gesture, while a woman in a patterned top listens. A man in jeans stands at a doorway, and a woman in white and a striped border sits at the lower right. a person cues are partial: the central figure wears a rudraksha mala and red-brown robe, but the image does not clearly show long swept-back hair or ornate gold necklaces, so the identity is uncertain and the figure is described by role as a robed teacher.2017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26Outdoor photo at a red-stepped amphitheatre-style ghat with rows of small black shivalinga-shaped stands.
