A photograph of a temple pavilion where a man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with cushioned armrests, hands folded in his lap. Behind him stands a gilded shrine holding a deity murti with red drapes, garlands and a kalasha-like ritual setup nearby. Seven people kneel on mats in front of the throne with palms joined in prayer: a woman in a white and gold sari, a young man in white, a bald man in white dhoti, women in white and yellow saris, and a woman in a saffron shawl. Silver trays with flowers sit before them, and an orange-curtained grey stone pillared structure frames the scene with a red-and-white striped wall behind.
