A photograph inside a temple shrine. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl, a gold-toned necklace and a rudraksha-style garland, bends forward at a golden stand holding a brass vessel and a ritual object. Beside him, a second man in orange robes with a white-and-red flower garland sits upright on an ornate gold-trimmed throne, with his hands folded and a white marking on his forehead. The throne sits against a blue wooden cabinet with painted panels, and orange cloth covers the altar in front. Two people are visible, a ritual setting resembling a puja. The man bending forward has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, consistent with Swamiji (probable), while the seated man is a devotee or sannyasi receiving honour.
