He wears a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, hands folded in his lap, a microphone stand beside him. Behind him stands a golden Nandi bull, flanked by golden attendant figures with hands in anjali, and a garlanded deity murti with a crown and trident-like emblem is set within marigold and multicolour flower garlands. Brass kalasha-style pots and rows of oil lamps glow in the foreground beside fruit offerings, with string lights across the lattice backdrop. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure, judged from the saffron robes, orange turban and rudraksha mala. The image is a photograph of an empty-of-crowd shrine stage with a single seated figure.2017-12-02
