A photograph of a barefoot man in saffron-orange dhoti and leopard-print upper cloth, wearing a rudraksha mala and multiple ceremonial gold necklaces, with a garland of red-orange flowers, standing at left with both palms raised in greeting and smiling. Behind him is a shrine decorated with multicoloured floral garlands in red, orange, yellow, green and purple. At the centre sits a gold deity murti with a golden crown, flanked by a larger deity figure with a crown and gold ornaments, with a gold kalasha and brass oil lamps in front, a white-garlanded linga-like form in the centre, and a second garlanded shrine with a deity figure at right. The man is described as Swamiji (probable) by his saffron clothing, long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, with placement near the shrine as an honoured devotee.
