A photograph of an outdoor courtyard with a concrete bench in front of a leafy plant and a tree trunk. A young person with long dark hair tied back, wearing orange saffron robes, sits on the bench smiling and looking toward an older bearded man in orange robes with a shaved head, whose palms are pressed together in greeting. Two other men in orange clothing stand behind them near steps leading up to a building with pillars. A white marble plaque on the bench is inscribed with Hindi text. The seated person's appearance is not clearly consistent with the page's claim, so no identity is asserted.
