A photograph of a temple ritual in a small room with turquoise walls and a red-trimmed doorway. A man in a saffron-orange turban, red-orange robe and a garland of white and pink flowers, with a rudraksha mala, holds a brass plate with flowers and a small vessel toward a deity murti heavily decorated with flower garlands, beaded ornaments and a golden kalasha-style adornment. Beside him a man with long hair, white vibhuti marks, a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti with gold border stands with hands joined in prayer. A third man in a white-and-grey striped shirt stands barefoot with palms pressed together, and a fourth man in a red-brown dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads and folded hands stands at right. A small oil lamp rests on the floor in front. Probable Swamiji is the man in the saffron turban and orange robe, performing the puja offering with the brass plate.
