A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes standing at a ritual altar, holding a silver handbell in one hand and a large ornate silver ceremonial implement in the other. He wears layered rudraksha malas and heavy gold-bead necklaces, rudraksha armbands and bracelets, and a red tilak on his forehead. Before him on a stone counter are silver bowls and vessels filled with pink flower petals, a silver kalasha-style pot, and a tall silver lamp stand draped with pink flower garlands. A man in white stands partly visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces match the cues for the presiding teacher performing the puja.
