A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red robe and a heavy necklace of gold beads and rudraksha malas pours water from a silver kalasha over a small gold deity murti on a tray. He sits on an ornate gold throne with eyes closed and a faint smile, a red tilak on his forehead and rudraksha bracelets on his arms. Behind him a standing attendant in a white dhoti with gold border holds his hands in anjali. The setting suggests abhishekam ritual; a brass shivalinga-style object and a pink petal sit on the tray. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas match the page's description of the presiding figure.
