A man with long swept-back hair stands in front of a decorated shrine, wearing saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with his palms joined in greeting and a smile. Behind him stand two large deity murti figures draped in garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, one holding a trident. In front of the murti is a golden linga with a crown and a small saffron-clad figure seated before it. A tall oil lamp with flower garlands stands at the right beside a saffron-robed sannyasi statue. A photographer with a camera is visible at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklace) stands in person at the shrine, greeting the gathering.

Behind him stands a deity murti with a crown, trident and a flower-draped kalasha, flanked by a richly garlanded arch of red, yellow, purple and white blossoms. A garlanded figure of a seated saint in orange sits in front of a flower-covered lingam-like form. Brass oil lamps and a banana leaf frame the scene.
