A photograph of a ceremonial puja in a temple-style hall with red drapes and a gold throne. A seated man wears a rust-brown turban and brown robe with an ornate gold necklace and a rudraksha-style gold pendant; he holds green leaves in one raised hand. Standing beside him, a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a lavender shawl pours liquid from a clay vessel, and an attendant holds a tray. Behind the throne stands a gold deity murti with a crown and a trident, with yellow kalasha-style decorations, potted plants and oil lamps nearby. A probable Swamiji appearance with rust-brown turban, brown robe and ornate gold necklace is seated on the throne during abhishekam-style offering.
