Night photograph outside a building with orange walls. A smiling man with eyes closed stands centre-frame wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a leopard-print waist cloth, a heavy gold necklace, and red and yellow garlands. He holds a silver trident in his left hand, has white and red forehead markings, and his right hand rests on his hip. Behind him stands a large black stone deity murti set within a dark arched prabhavali halo, also draped with red garlands. A bell is visible at the far left and a woman in a white sari with folded hands stands at the right edge. The man in the centre has distinctive saffron clothing, a trident and heavy gold ornaments, consistent with a person presentation.

He wears a leopard-print garment, an orange shawl, multi-strand gold beaded necklaces, a red garland and a gold bangle. He holds a silver trident with a silver Shiva-style trident head and a red stone inset. White vertical body markings and a red bindi mark his forehead, and he holds his hip. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, orange shawl, rudraksha-style adornments and ceremonial gold necklaces fit the page's identification, though the appearance cues are not conclusive. Marigold garlands and a red flower are visible on the wall and the base of the murti.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +2 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a man standing outdoors at night beside a temple structure with a large dark circular arch behind him.

A smiling person stands before a dark stone relief of a deity murti with a crescent-marked head. The person wears a saffron-orange wrap, a leopard-print garment, a heavy gold necklace, and a long red flower garland, with white and red forehead markings and gold armlets. They hold a silver trident (trishul) upright in one hand while another person's hand offers a lit oil lamp (aarti) with a bright flame.
