A photograph inside a silver-framed shrine with a deity murti dressed in yellow and red flower garlands, with a small oil lamp at its base. In the foreground an elderly man in white with his back to the camera faces the shrine. A smiling man in a saffron-red turban and ochre-red robe with an ornate gold necklace and multicoloured flower garlands raises one hand in greeting and holds a silver trident. Beside him a man in white holds an object and two men stand at left, one in orange and one in white. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in the saffron-red turban, red robe, gold necklace and garlands matches the page's Swamiji reference, based on turban, robe and ornaments, and he is physically present.
