A home altar photograph centred on a small brass sculpture of a deity group with a pyramidal shrine element, decorated with bright orange marigold flowers and green leaves and stems. Behind it stands a cut-out printed picture of a smiling bearded man in a brown-and-gold turban and wrap, with a rudraksha mala and a white floral garland, raising one hand in blessing; the printed figure is a depiction, and the appearance cues (turban, rudraksha, garland) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), though no caption is visible. A black tasselled crown-like headpiece and a trident-shaped cut-out appear at the top. A red cloth backdrop and a small potted plant fill the background. No physical people are visible.
