A photograph of a person seen from behind, seated before a decorated deity murti in a temple shrine. The person has long, dark, swept-back hair and wears an orange-saffron shawl over the shoulders and a rudraksha mala around the neck, a distinctive appearance-based cue for Swamiji (probable), shown in an act of worship. The deity murti is adorned with yellow and pink flower garlands, a red and gold crown, and a golden face mask, with a gold ceremonial throne-like seat at right and a golden oil lamp at left.
