A photograph of a seated puja in an indoor hall with a gold-and-red throne on the left. A man in a grey-purple dhoti with an orange turban, gold necklaces and bangles sits on the red-cushioned dais, with a probable Swamiji appearance by his orange turban, ornate gold ornaments and gold-trimmed saffron shawl. Seated on the floor before him, devotees hold palms together in prayer beside gold trays of fruit, flowers and oil lamps. A woman in a red sari and gold necklace sits in the centre, a woman in a red-bordered white sari kneels near the trays, and a man in white shirt has his hands folded. A small child sits among the group, and a woman in orange and a man in white stand at the rear. Floral garlands drape a deity murti and the throne at the upper left.
