A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair and an orange-and-white checked shawl over an orange robe, smiling and holding a silver trident with a yellow flower garland, in front of an ornate gold-framed shrine with a deity relief. Beside him a smiling young man in a saffron robe wears a heavy gold necklace and a pendant, and holds a gold kalasha-style vessel. A white bowl of grain sits in front, and a fabric backdrop with red floral garlands frames the scene. The seated man has distinctive long hair and ornate shawl cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), seated and receiving honour during a temple event.
