A photograph inside a temple-like shrine with grey stone carvings and deep red curtains. Behind a silver-framed red seat, a central deity murti with a crown and multiple arms stands in a gilded arch, flanked by two smaller figures in garlands. A seated man in rust-orange robes and a long gold chain necklace sits in front of the shrine, hands folded in his lap, with a gold-cast bull figure at the lower right and marigold garlands on the altar ledge. The man is an in-person candidate with long hair and a beard; his appearance is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), with cues of a rudraksha-style mala and ornate gold neck ornament while seated on a ceremonial seat.
