A framed photograph on an altar shows a seated man in orange robes and a silver ceremonial necklace, with a red-orange bindi, raising one hand in blessing while sitting before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. The framed portrait is not a physical person. Before it lies a draped cloth of maroon and gold, with two ornate gold-toned ritual vessels topped with yellow roses, a crystal lotus ornament, and strands of rudraksha beads. Yellow roses frame the lower right, and a peacock feather stands at the left edge beside a window. The image is a photograph of the altar arrangement. Swamiji (probable): the framed portrait shows long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a ceremonial necklace, and is a depiction.
