A man with long, wavy dark hair stands at night in front of a black background, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment draped over his body and a long necklace of gold-coloured beads. He has a red tilak on his forehead and holds a brass oil lamp with a flame in one hand and a brass bell in the other, raising the bell toward a grey stone lingam decorated with pink and white flowers on its top. Wisps of smoke rise in the air, and a brass vessel sits at the right edge beside the lingam. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron garment and gold bead necklace, performing the lingam worship as a priest.
