A photograph inside a hall with plain white walls and a concrete floor. On the left, a standing man in orange dhoti and orange shawl, with hair tied up and a gold necklace, faces right with his hands extended in a gesture toward the altar. In the centre, a seated figure in white and orange cloth with a red turban and garlands of red and white flowers sits on a low wooden platform before a small wooden table holding a brass plate, oil lamps and flower petals.

A standing man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra before a framed portrait on a red-upholstered chair. The framed portrait shows a smiling man in orange robes seated in meditation with a white flower garland and a tree trunk behind him. In front of the chair is a brass vessel with a lit oil lamp, yellow flower garland and a red cloth-draped table. Behind are golden and blue deity figures decorated with garlands, and a stone shrine with carved panels. Fruit and offerings sit on a small orange-draped table at left. The standing man is a probable Swamiji in orange robes with long hair, shown in devotional worship before a portrait of a seated saffron-robed figure. The scene reads as puja before a garlanded portrait at a temple.

The shrine wall is draped with pink, white, yellow and green flower garlands. Brass oil lamps, a small brass kalasha and plates with offerings sit on the ledge below.
