A photograph of a shrine altar with a large printed portrait of a bearded man in a maroon turban, many gold chains and beaded necklaces, seated in meditation pose with a raised hand, framed by orange marigold garlands. Two small deity murti dressed in pink and blue silks, white and pink flower garlands, sit under a gilded arch on a red embroidered cloth. Red and white roses flank the portrait, with a brass plate of flower petals and a bowl of white offering in front. No physical people are visible. The portrait's man has distinctive turban, beard and gold necklace cues and a seated pose, so the probable identity label applies to the depicted figure.
