Photograph of an indoor temple-style hall with a seated man on the left and a garlanded deity murti on the right. The seated man wears an orange turban, a rust-orange robe and a long beaded rudraksha mala, and sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests draped in red cushions. Behind him stands a painted statue of a deity holding a staff. On the right, a gold arched canopy frames a silver-clad deity murti decorated with a multicoloured flower garland and a golden-orange cloth. Brass oil lamps stand on the white marble floor between them, with a patterned carpet in front. The person on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji with a turban, rudraksha mala and orange robe, and the image is consistent with a satsang setting.
