A photograph inside a tent with a blue, yellow and red zigzag-patterned backdrop, showing an exhibition display. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand before the display boards: the foreground figure, bald with white forehead markings and a grey beard, gestures with his hands as he speaks, while the figure beside him wears an orange turban, long dark hair, an orange robe and a gold beaded necklace, and smiles. A third man in a white shirt stands at the right edge. Behind them are a wall map of the United States and posted panels of photographs and printed text describing a mystic's research. Probable Swamiji cues are visible on the orange-turbaned figure: long swept-back hair, an orange turban and a gold ceremonial necklace, and he is shown with the exhibition display as a sannyasi-style visitor.
