A photograph taken from behind a figure in a saffron-orange turban and saffron cloth, with a rudraksha mala and a red flower in the hair bun, facing a shrine doorway. Inside, a deity murti stands in gold and white garments with silver ornaments and a tall crown, flanked by two smaller figures, all garlanded with white and pink flower strands. A gold-draped altar holds a decorated stand with rose petals and garlands on the floor. To the left, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala looks toward the shrine. The doorway is framed by painted gold scrollwork on pale green walls. The figure in turban is a probable Swamiji (saffron turban, long hair bun, rudraksha mala and ornate clothing), seen from behind at the shrine, while the man at left appears to be a devotee or sannyasi.
