A photograph inside a temple shrine area with orange cloth draped on the walls and a golden shrine with a purple cloth behind. A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and multiple flower garlands, a person candidate with long swept-back hair and orange clothing, seated on a white-covered seat. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward, touching the seated figure's feet in reverence. A kneeling devotee in a white dhoti and cloth prostrates at the foot of the seat. Standing onlookers include men in white shirts and white dhotis, one in a red sports jersey, and a man in an orange shirt. A woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl stands at right, and a cameraman stands behind the group. Brass lamps and offering plates sit before the shrine. A sign on the left wall is partly visible.
