A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and matching orange turban stands before a shrine with a red satin valance trimmed with tassels and bells. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a large gold ceremonial pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead, hands clasped in front. Behind him stand two decorated deity murti figures with floral garlands and gold-trimmed crowns, one holding a bow. A partially visible person in white and blue stands at the left edge, and plastic shopping bags sit on the floor by a wooden pedestal. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo as the saffron-robed man with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold pendant, standing in a temple-like room.
