Indoor photo of a seated guru in an orange-red turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a saffron and yellow garment, touching the forehead of a white-haired man in a white kurta with an orange scarf. The guru's raised right hand rests on the man's head while the man's hands are held up in front of him. Behind them are red drapes and an ornate gold carved throne back. The turbaned figure fits the page's a person reference through appearance cues (turban, beaded necklaces, saffron clothing) but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identification is left unsure.
