A man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap stands at right of centre pouring liquid from a silver vessel over a golden deity murti. He wears a red tilak, layered gold beaded necklaces, a gold armband and multiple bangles, and is looking down at the murti as he pours. The gilded murti wears a tall crown and holds a trident-like staff and a ritual object; liquid streams over its head. A second golden figure appears at the far right edge against a dark night background. Swamiji (probable): the orange wrap, long hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beaded adornments match the page's claim, so this is an in_person candidate.
