A graphic with a terracotta-brown background framing a photograph above a caption. The photo shows an elderly bearded man in white robes and a green turban seated on the ground under a white-pillared colonnade, holding a small object in his hands. Around him sit several women in saris and men in white shirts, while a pile of bananas, flowers and a brass vessel lies in front. The caption reads 'The SPH in the presence of his Guru, Sri Yogiramsuratkumar. 2 June 1993, age 15', presenting the seated figure as a depiction of the teacher's presence at that time, not as an identified person from the face. Seven to nine people are visible in the photograph.
