A photo inside a temple shrine. A man in an orange sleeveless robe with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala smiles while extending his hand to bless a devotee in a white shirt, who bows with hands folded. Behind him a second man in orange holds an orange-cloth tray with a small offering. Other devotees in white and red crowd the metal railing at left, one holding a mango and banana leaves. Behind them a deity murti pair in teal and yellow garments with a crown, trident and flower garlands stands in a gold-framed niche. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala.
