A man in a saffron-orange robe stands before a golden shrine on a temple platform, holding a rudraksha mala with his right hand and gesturing with his left. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a man in white holds an orange umbrella over him. Two golden metal deity murtis are garlanded with yellow, white and red flower strands; the right figure wears teal clothing and a crown. Ornate gold carvings frame the shrine, and a dark-clad man in white and orange is visible at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala match the page's presentation of the speaker.
