A photograph of a standing man in maroon and orange ritual dress, with an orange turban, long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with a large gold medallion, and a red-and-yellow flower garland, smiling with palms joined in greeting. Beside him stands a golden-bronze deity murti of a goddess in a maroon sari with silver jewellery and garlands, raising one hand, set against a rainbow-coloured flower arch on a yellow-draped golden lion-footed pedestal, with a dark red velvet backdrop. The man's appearance (turban, long hair, rudraksha mala, gold medallion) fits the page's Swamiji reference, but identity is only probable.
