A photograph of a temple-style ritual setting. A seated figure on a leopard-print throne wears a tall dark turban, white tilak on the forehead, a rust-orange robe, red and white flower garlands, a gold chest ornament, and gold bangles; the figure holds a small ritual item. The throne is backed by a large garland-covered decorative panel, and a golden lion form sits near the feet. A standing woman in a white sari with a dark rudraksha mala gestures toward the seated figure, while other devotees in white clothing with orange shawls stand nearby and a person lies prostrate in the lower foreground. Behind them are a golden shrine canopy, a deity murti, a kalasha-style vessel and green plants. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a tall turban, red garlands, gold ornaments and an orange robe, presented as the honoured seated guru.
