On the right, a smiling man in white shirt and dhoti wears a white flower garland and holds a yellow pot or kalasha, while a woman in white stands between them. Behind them are ornately decorated deity murtis draped in flower garlands, with a red and gold backdrop and a purple cloth. A shaved-headed person in the lower left foreground and white-clad attendants appear at the edges.2013-07-18A photograph in a decorated temple-style hall with a deity murti seated on a golden throne draped in garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers. On the left a figure in an orange-brown sannyasi-style wrap, a saffron turban, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces stands smiling; the orange, turban and mala cues are distinctive, so this is Swamiji (probable).
