A man in a yellow dhoti and yellow shawl with a long garland stands on a stone temple platform, smiling and raising one hand in a wave, beside a decorated shrine. Behind him, a deity murti pair with a crown and golden mukut is adorned with thick marigold and rose garlands in yellow, orange, purple and green. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha and brass vessels stand on the platform, with a small golden figure and white cloth in front of the shrine. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a yellow ceremonial robe, while the shrine stands in a stone temple pavilion with red curtains.
