A figure with long dark hair in a dark red dhoti and matching upper cloth stands at the left edge of a raised stage, back partly turned, hands folded in namaskar. A garland of red and purple flowers hangs around his neck, and bangles are on his wrist. In front stand a silver oil lamp and a pedestal fan. Behind him, gold-coloured female statues hold their hands in anjali, and a decorated deity murti with flower garlands sits under a pink and gold canopy. A starry, pink-red backdrop fills the background. Swamiji (probable) is the robed figure in the foreground, with long hair and a red garment; this is a puja scene.

A man with long dark dreadlocks wearing a rust-red wrap stands barefoot on the left, hands folded in namaskar, facing a garlanded silver throne. On the right, a murti of a deity dressed in pink and gold garments sits on a golden throne decorated with red, white and purple flower garlands, under an ornate umbrella. Two gold-coloured standing statues of attendant figures and brass lamps flank the central throne. The man's appearance has several cues associated with a person, but the figure is partly cropped and not clearly identifiable, so the appearance is uncertain.2018-04-25
