A photograph at an indoor event under a banner reading THE SCHOOL OF ANCIENT WISDOM. A smiling young man in a saffron turban and saffron shawl, bare-chested, stands in the centre with his eyes lowered while another man in white holds his arm and shoulder. Behind them stand men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a microphone on a wooden lectern to the left. Flower arrangements with red and pink blooms sit at the left edge, and a bearded man in the foreground lower left looks on. The white-draped curtains and plastic chairs indicate a hall setting.

A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead, smiles as he walks barefoot across a marble floor past a small round table holding a red alarm clock, a white pitcher, a potted green plant, and a brass oil lamp. Behind him a white panel reads in gold lettering 'THE SCHOOL OF ... ANCIENT WISDOM'. A small brass ornament sits on the lectern, and a red-and-green floral cloth is draped on a table at lower left. The man has a distinctive mix of cues, but the page does not mention him as present and his appearance is uncertain, so he is described only by role as a robed speaker.A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-orange cloth and a matching orange turban, with a red tilak on the forehead and a rudraksha mala around the neck, standing barefoot on a pale concrete floor and making a dance-like hand gesture.

On the right, a bearded man in white kurta and white dhoti holds a long metal sword-like staff. Behind them, several people in white clothes stand near pale grey curtains, some clapping.
