A man with long swept-back dark hair stands in the centre of an ornate golden doorway inside a colourful temple hall, holding a tall golden trident in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. He wears a rust-orange kurta with a matching sash at the waist and dhoti-style trousers. Behind him, a dark inner shrine is hung with strings of lit lamps and rudraksha-style beads, and small brass bells hang from above. Gilded lion and deity sculptures flank the doorway, with brass lamps and a lion statue at the base, and the floor is covered with striped woven rugs. Swamiji (probable) stands in person, identified by long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial clothing and the trident.
