He has long dark hair swept back, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and his feet are bare. Rows of red plastic chairs line both sides, and the floor is covered with green striped mats scattered with footwear. Behind the aisle, other people in white clothing sit near a yellow-framed painting and display stands. An appearance-based probable Swamiji cue is present: long swept-back hair, orange clothing and rudraksha beads.
