Indoor temple photograph with a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne. He wears a rust-red shawl, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, gold waist belt, red-orange beaded armbands and a white tilak, with long dark hair and a beard, and his right hand is extended in a blessing gesture. Beside him an older bare-chested man in white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Two shirtless attendants in orange cloths stand behind, near a brass oil lamp on a stand. Behind them a large deity murti in green and red garments with garlands, a black stone shivalinga-style pillar and a brass kalasha-like finial sit on a stone platform. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rust-red shawl.
