A photograph inside a gilded shrine room with black walls and a large ornate golden throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth. A figure with swept-back long hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces stands barefoot in a saffron-orange robe with a yellow sash, one hand resting on the throne back; the appearance is a probable Swamiji by these visible cues. Seated on the floor in front are devotees in white kurtas and orange lanyards, one bald man in white among them, and a man at the lower right. In front stands a round golden table with many silver thalis and bowls holding flowers, fruit, sweets and offerings, and brass oil lamps hang from above. Ritual puja setting.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a gold lion-head armrest and tiger-striped cushion, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a red, white and black floral garland, gold necklaces and bangles. A brass lamp and hanging bells stand beside the throne. Before him, a woman in a pink sari and gold jewellery sits with hands clasped near a gold tray holding silver bowls of flowers and offerings. A man in white shirt sits behind the tray, and two more women sit to the right, one in a pale sari and one in an orange sari. The seated figure appears to be a person in saffron robes with distinctive garland and ornaments, but the appearance is only partly clear, so identity is uncertain. The scene suggests a puja or ceremonial offering in a gold-decorated room with a wooden door.

The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, with long swept-back hair, and is appearance-based a person seated in a position of honour.

A golden ornate throne with carved lion-head armrests dominates the scene. A man in saffron-orange robes, a sacred thread-like orange shawl, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, a white forehead mark and long swept-back hair sits on the throne with his feet resting on a flower-strewn tray. Several women in orange and red saris and white-clothed devotees sit on the floor around silver trays holding small oil lamps, flowers and offerings, performing a puja or padapuja ritual. A bald man in orange is partly visible at the bottom. A wall-mounted air conditioner, a bell and a black backdrop complete the room.
