A photograph of a seated figure in a shrine corner with a white turban, a red-orange saffron-coloured robe with white-bordered shawl, and a long rudraksha mala around the neck, raising one hand in a blessing gesture and smiling. Around him is a ritual altar draped in yellow cloth with a white marble Ganesha statue, a golden Sri Yantra plate, a golden meru-shaped shrine piece, a brass tray holding rudraksha malas and flowers, a black Shivalinga with flowers and rudraksha, a red-robed dark deity murti and small gold idols. A handwritten pink sign reading partly LASA and DIEG is at left. The figure is in person and has a distinctive turban, robe and mala cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
