A photograph of a standing man in a warm, hazy golden-lit hall before an ornate gilded arch and a large decorated deity murti with multiple raised arms and a jeweled crown. He wears a rust-brown and deep red robe draped over one shoulder, a sash-like cloth, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a gold waist belt, and a tilak on his forehead. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and holds a tall silver trident-tipped staff in the other. Swamiji (probable), identified by the cues of a crown-like ornament, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold necklaces, appears in the centre, with the shrine's glittering decorations behind him. Small lamps glow at the lower edge.
