A photograph inside a shop showing shelves stacked with folded fabrics and shirts. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a red bindi stands at right, smiling and holding a glass case with a small figurine of deities, with red flowers beneath it, which he is handing to a woman in a pink sari with her hair in a bun. A smiling man in a white dhoti and shirt with a black necklace stands between them. A lit silver oil lamp is decorated with a yellow flower garland, and coconuts and fruit sit on the counter. A framed picture of deities with a white and red garland hangs on the wall. Swamiji (probable) is the orange-robed man with long hair and rudraksha malas, presented here as the one handing over the gift.
