A photograph inside a shrine room with black walls and an ornate gold throne. A man with long dark hair, a rust-orange cloth wrapped at the waist, a yellow-edged shawl and an orange-beaded mala sits on a gold lion-armed throne, appearing as a probable Swamiji (long swept hair, saffron-orange clothing and ceremonial beads). Around a gold table with silver trays of offerings, devotees in white clothes and folded hands sit in prayer, including a woman in a green sari with a mala. Hanging brass bells, oil lamps and a wooden door with carved metal studs complete the setting, with a wall air conditioner visible.
