A photograph inside a stone temple shrine with a gold-framed arched niche behind a golden throne-like altar. A standing man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, and gestures with his right hand toward the altar. Two people stand to the left in white and orange, one with hands in anjali. Gold deity murti sit in the niche on a purple cloth, adorned with garlands, a crown and ornaments. Brass oil lamps and a small pink-clad figure with garlands stand in front, with a framed portrait at lower left. Swamiji (probable): the standing man in orange has long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a garland, consistent with the page.
