A photograph inside a temple hall with a dim, ornately carved stone pillar setting. In the centre a smiling man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment over his shoulders, a gold-edged orange cloth and a multi-strand rudraksha mala around his neck, standing with hands clasped at his waist. Behind him, two metal deity murtis wearing gold crowns and jewellery are decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds and red, purple and green flowers. A dark cushioned throne with a brown pillow sits in the right foreground, and a gold-framed altar stands behind it. Swamiji (probable): the man's long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues for the presentation the page describes, though identity is inferred from appearance only.
