A photograph of a temple shrine scene outdoors. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a leopard-print shawl stands beside a gilded throne, placing a hand on the head of a young man in a red polo shirt and jeans who holds a silver tray of flowers, fruit and offerings. Behind them, a deity murti pair in blue and red garlanded with red and yellow flowers sits in a red-curtained shrine with brass lamps. On the left, two men in orange and white ritual dress carry a wooden tray and a folded cloth. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure wears long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a leopard-print shawl, placed beside a gold throne, with the same hand gesture of blessing. The shrine is ornate with gold columns and a red carpet.
