A photograph inside a stone temple shrine. A figure wearing a saffron-orange draped garment, a rudraksha mala necklace and beaded bracelets on the upper arm stands at left, gazing toward a small silver deity murti dressed in a red cloth backdrop, set in an ornate gilded niche. Brass lamps flank the murti and a brass pedestal sits in front, with flower offerings at its base. The figure's long dark hair is swept back with a decorative clip. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), given his saffron garb, rudraksha mala, arm ornaments and long swept-back hair, shown in the context of puja at the shrine.
