Photograph of a seated long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe, gesturing with his hands while speaking to two women seated beside him in a hall with a floral arrangement of orange lilies and pink flowers and a wooden floor. The woman in the center wears a white top and a beaded necklace and smiles; the woman on the right wears a beige striped sweater, a red rudraksha mala and a ponytail, and holds small wooden sticks. A tripod and a folding chair are visible behind them. The orange-robed man with long hair and distinctive saffron clothing is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in the attendee-facing role of conducting an initiation session.
