A photograph of a ceremonial puja inside a temple-like hall with cream pillars and a golden throne. A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with a long swept-back hairstyle, a gold-and-white garland necklace, and a red tilak, sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne with a painted deity murti above him and holds a silver plate. Before the throne, a shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with white sacred ash markings on his arms and chest sits on a rug, and a woman in white sari with a red border offers items from a silver plate, with silver bowls of fruit, flowers and sweets on the floor. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, identified by his saffron robes, long hair and gold-and-white garland. Cooling units stand at the sides and white flowers lie on the steps.
