A photo of a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a crown-like band decorated with pink and white lotus flowers, wearing a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a long red-and-white garland of flowers, with gold hoop earrings and gold necklaces with beads. He faces left with his hand extended. Beside him a man in white-and-gold ritual cloth has a red and white tilak on his forehead and holds a hand out. Other devotees stand behind with dark hair, red tilak marks and gold beaded necklaces. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the dreadlocks, flower crown, shawl and garland, placed as the central figure receiving honour during the temple visit. Pale yellow walls frame the outdoor setting.
