A photograph inside a temple hall with white pillars and blue doors. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears saffron-orange robes, a long gold-beaded necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead; his hands rest folded in his lap and his feet are bare on a yellow cushion with a silver tray. Above the doorway a painted deity with multiple arms is flanked by elephants. To the left, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with white vibhuti markings and a beaded mala sits cross-legged on the floor, seemingly addressing the seated figure. The seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace, consistent with a probable Swamiji depiction in an in-person setting.
