A seated man with long dark hair and a cream embroidered kurta with gold trim reaches out to touch the head of a standing man in a beige sweater, who has his palms pressed together in greeting. A white-draped table with a silver tray and a bouquet of red and pink roses sits in front. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling man in a white turban with a red bindi and dark clothing, beside the words SHIVA and SUTRA in large lettering. Red and teal drapes hang at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in cream robes with long hair matches the banner figure's presentation and receives the greeting in a seated, honoured position, so the appearance cues are distinctive though the identification is uncertain.
