A photograph of a puja altar with a large printed cutout of a seated figure in a maroon turban and saffron-red garments, holding a trident and a white flower, with layered rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold ornamental necklace. The cutout is framed by a decorative arch of patterned fabric with embroidered motifs. In front sits a wooden elephant carving, a book, and a brass tray holding a pair of silver lamps, a flower garland and orange and red roses and marigolds on a red cloth. Because the page names Swamiji and the cutout shows a turban, trident, malas and ornate clothing, the printed figure is a probable depiction of Swamiji; no living person is present.
