A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with gold-bordered trim and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with a small red bindi on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He holds a boy in a blue and yellow plaid shirt who bows forward with his head lowered, while the man's hand rests on the boy's shoulder and the boy's hands grip a small silver-toned object. Behind them a red and orange banner shows several framed portrait photographs, and a green plant and dark drape sit at the left edge. The setting looks like a satsang or discourse hall. Two people are visible.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala of dark beads, and a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders, sitting on a red throne-like seat with red and gold tiger-print cushions. A young boy in a blue and white plaid shirt bends toward him, holding a small ornate golden object. A potted palm stands at left, and framed portrait prints of older saints hang on a red-and-orange backdrop behind them.

Behind them a group of children and adults stands in a hall with a red curtain; a woman in a floral kurta wears an orange lanyard, and a young girl in white stands at right.
