A temple shrine corner with a golden wall and carved golden pillar at left. Standing at upper right is a life-size printed or painted cutout figure in an orange and yellow turban and saffron-and-gold robes, wearing a large rudraksha mala, a white ceremonial necklace and a garland of pink and white flowers. Three deity murtis sit on a low base in front, each draped with white and pink flower garlands; the central figure wears a dark blue and orange silk drape. Appearance cues on the cutout (turban, rudraksha mala, saffron clothing) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), but this is a depiction, not a physical person. No physical people are visible.
