A photograph of a long-haired man with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered and wearing a coral-pink flower garland, smiling as he touches the ornate silver-and-gold deity murti with his right hand. The murti is adorned with a jewelled necklace, bangles, floral garlands in red, purple and yellow, and a green cloth. A green parrot perches on his left shoulder. Behind him, a second figure in orange-brown robes and a beaded necklace stands near a brass kalasha-like object. Ritual puja setting. Swamiji (probable) is visible as the central figure, wearing long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style neck garland, with a garland and ceremonial jewellery consistent with his role of honouring the deity.
