A man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron robe stands at left in a white tent, gazing upward at a large deity murti decorated with multicolored flower garlands and a silver-and-gold ornamented costume. The murti wears a tall ornate crown and a green garland, and stands before a gilded arch. Brass oil lamps stand at right and a smaller statue and flower-garlanded frame appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a distinctive appearance cue, and the page identifies him as present, so he is.
