Indoor temple scene under a tin roof, with a red carpet runner and a golden deity image in the background. A figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron shawl over a white and orange garland of jasmine and red flowers, and holds a small white object in cupped hands while looking down. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and floral garland) is the central figure, apparently receiving or presenting an offering. To the left, two older men in white shirts stand at a railing, one with hands pressed to his chest. On the right, a bald priest with vibhuti on his forehead, orange-brown beaded neckwear and bare shoulders watches. A further priest with white forehead marks stands behind him.
