A standing figure framed by a large arch of multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple, green and white, with a gold crown-like headpiece. The figure wears an orange and green draped garment, layered white and yellow garlands, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala. In the foreground at right, a silhouetted person holds up a tiered brass aarti lamp with many lit flames, beside a tall brass lamp stand topped with a bird finial. Gilded ornamental metalwork and hanging oil lamps fill the dark background. Whether the standing figure is a live person or a statue is unclear from the image.

He wears a gold crown, an orange silk garment with a green-and-gold border, a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace with floral garlands, and he smiles. Beside him a tiered brass oil lamp burns brightly, and a dark silhouetted figure stands in the foreground holding or facing the lamp. Swamiji (probable) appears in this scene: the long dark hair, gold crown, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues, and he is the person in front of the decorated doorway. Oil lamps are lit in the background.2012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23A photograph of a standing figure framed within an ornate golden archway decorated with multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and green. The figure wears a tall ornate gold crown, a green and orange silk wrap, layered gold and bead necklaces, white jasmine garlands, and gold armbands, with bare arms and feet. A tiered brass oil lamp stand with lit flames stands at the left, and a larger brass lamp stands at the right edge, with hanging lamps above. Gold metalwork covers the arch and pillars. The setting appears to be a temple or ritual stage at night. Only this one standing figure is physically visible in the scene.2012-04-23
