A barefoot man in a rust-orange dhoti and sleeveless orange shawl with gold borders walks down a red carpet toward the viewer inside a temple hall. He wears a long gold-bead necklace with a silver pendant, a red bindi and a tilak, and gold hoop earrings, with long swept-back dark hair. Behind him, a gilded arch frames a large deity murti with a red and orange turban and a trident, seated beside a consort in red and gold, with a smaller gilded shrine to the right holding a standing figure in orange. A white-clad attendant stands at the left edge beside a metal railing. Swamiji (probable) is the walking man, based on his distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes, and ornate gold necklace.
