A photograph inside a bare-walled room where a bare-chested figure in orange cloth stands with his back to the camera, reaching up to place a garland of pink and yellow flowers on a framed portrait.

A seated man in an orange saffron sleeveless garment with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair places his hand on the head of a man in white who bows with palms pressed together.

A home shrine interior where a man in an orange sleeveless robe and an orange shawl holds a brass aarti lamp with a flame and a brass bell, performing an aarti ritual. Beside him, a bespectacled man in a white shirt stands with hands folded, and a woman in a black and gold-bordered sari stands with palms pressed together. Framed portraits and pictures line the walls, including a framed sketch of a woman in a sari and a painted figure in a robe. Yellow flower garlands decorate the frames, and a brass lamp stands on a small altar at lower left. The orange-robed man has long hair and a shawl, a cue consistent with the page, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) performing aarti.
