Outdoor photo at an orange-walled ashram courtyard. A shaved-headed man in orange robes with a white tilak on his forehead stands behind a large dark black stone dome draped with a multicolour garland of red, yellow, purple, white and green flowers, gesturing with one hand while speaking into a small headset microphone. Beside him stands a second shaved-headed man in an orange shawl, hand raised to his chin, listening. Behind them are a white railing, a stone wall and red-tiled roofs. No distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or ornate gold ornaments are visible on either man, so identity is uncertain.
