A photograph of an ornate temple shrine with a central standing man in rust-brown robes, a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha-style necklace and a red turban, raising a hand in blessing. Behind him stand larger deity murtis: a figure with a crown and dark blue skin on the left, a crowned central deity, and a figure in a purple and blue sari with a crown on the right. Two more standing murtis in saffron-orange and brown flank the scene, all wreathed in marigold and rose garlands with multicolour floral arches. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor, and a small silver-trimmed throne with a purple-clad figure sits in front. Scattered flower petals cover the floor. A printed copyright line appears in the lower right corner.

Behind him are golden murtis of deities adorned with multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white, with a silver-decorated central deity murti and a kalasha-like silver ornament in front. Two gilded attendant figures flank the scene, one wearing a red turban and one with hair bun, both garlanded. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with the page's description of him at this satsang event.2015-01-13
