A man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands barefoot on a marble platform inside a shrine niche. He wears a gold necklace and a dark rudraksha-style headband, and a small red mark on his forehead, while his hands are clasped at his waist. Behind him an arched white stone frame is lit with a strip of warm lights, and a deity murti is decorated with pink and white flower garlands. Silver lamps, a brass kalasha-type vessel and a small oil lamp with a flame sit on a marble ledge, with scattered petals on the floor. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues are the long hair swept back, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace.
