Photo of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, standing in front of a large black stone statue of a four-armed deity holding a discus and conch. He wears an orange saffron shawl over a red sleeveless top and orange dhoti, with one hand on his hip. Wooden crates and a brick wall are visible in the background of what looks like a workshop or temple construction space. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and a tilak mark; he stands in the foreground as a sannyasi.

A photograph of a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl over a red sleeveless top, barefoot, standing with one hand on his hip beside a large dark stone deity murti in a construction or storage hall. The tall murti has a cylindrical crown, four arms holding a discus and conch, and a carved lotus pedestal. Wooden planks, pallets and a brick wall are in the background, and a tiled rectangular pit lies in the foreground.
