A photograph of two seated men in an ashram room with a white wall. On the left, a younger man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark and a dark rudraksha mala sits in orange robes on a bolster-style cushion. On the right, an older bearded man with glasses in orange robes sits cross-legged on a white sheet, holding an open book. Between them sits a small wooden table with a cup on it. A tiger skin lies on the red patterned carpet in front. Behind them hangs a maroon banner with white Hindi lettering listing ashram and temple names, and a garland of red flowers hangs on the wall. The older man's appearance is consistent with the page's claim, but cues are limited, so he is described by role only and identity is left uncertain.
