A photograph of a room with a plain white wall and thatched ceiling where a row of brass and gold-toned deity murti statues are arranged on a white-draped table and floor. On the right, a figure in an orange turban and orange robes, with long dark hair, gestures toward the statues; the orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, with distinctive saffron clothing and long hair. Beside him, a man in a red and gold shawl and red dhoti stands facing the statues, and another man in a red-and-gold bag stands behind. Three more men stand at the left edge in white shirts and green-striped shirt, one in a white dhoti.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces arranges a black cloth over a row of small brass deity figures on a wooden puja tray, with a silver-framed throne behind him. Several seated devotees in white and orange shawls sit in the background, one with a white forehead mark and a yellow mala, and a younger man in a white dhoti and orange shawl sits at the left edge beside the tray.
