A photograph of an outdoor evening ritual on a striped cloth mat. A seated man on an ornate silver throne with a tiger-striped seat wears a dark red-maroon robe, a large rudraksha mala, red arm bands, a gold necklace and a tall dark turban with a crescent ornament on the forehead. He holds a silver staff and smiles. A kneeling younger man in an orange saffron dhoti, bare-shouldered, with a white shirt underneath, bows toward him. Smoke drifts in the background and a small silver deity murti sits at the right edge beside a silver offering stand. Yellow turmeric powder is visible on the ground. Swamiji (probable) is shown with rudraksha mala, turban and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne.
