Inside a temple hall, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a crown-like headpiece, wearing a white-and-gold shawl over a garland of white and pink flowers, stands with palms pressed together before a ceremonial puja table holding brass bowls and vessels. Behind him a man in an orange-saffron cloth beats a drum, and attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and a woman in a purple sari hold tall silver ceremonial staffs topped with trident-like finials. A large heart-shaped floral frame of yellow and orange marigolds and a hanging string of purple and yellow flowers decorate the background, with banana plants and a small kalasha-like pot at the front. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by his long hair, crown and garlanded saffron-and-white clothing, performing a puja.
