A photograph of a shrine arrangement with a large framed portrait of a bearded man in a maroon turban and layered gold necklaces, seated with raised hand, the portrait displayed on a backdrop of golden temple pillars and marigold garlands. Below, a gilded arch frame holds two small deity murti dolls in green and blue silk with jasmine and white ruffled garlands, flanked by white roses. In front, a red cloth covers the altar with a brass plate of rose petals and a bowl of yellow sundal-type offering. Swamiji (probable): the portrait's turban, gold necklaces and maroon robe match the page's Swamiji reference, but the depiction is a printed or displayed image, not a physical person.
