A photograph of a golden ornate shrine. In the centre, a framed portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron garment with a red bindi, set within a gilded arch. The portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. In the foreground, a tiered brass oil lamp with many lit flames blurs the view. Below the portrait, a gilded throne-like seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth holds a cushion. Two people in orange robes, seen from behind with shaved heads, sit before the shrine and raise their hands toward the lamps, as in a puja or aarti. Hanging brass bells and a gilded lion-like ornament decorate the shrine. A printed name caption is visible beneath the portrait.
