He wears a rudraksha mala with his hands joined at his chest. Dark maroon velvet curtains frame the shrine, with brass vessels, a small kalasha and lamps on the stone platform. The scene suggests a puja in a temple hall. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), standing in devotion before the shrine with a long swept-back hair style and rudraksha mala.
