A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard where a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a dark beaded mala, sits upright on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions. Seated on the floor before him, several people in white and cream clothing and one in a red-orange garment offer worship; a bald man in a white dhoti and a sacred thread holds a plate of offerings, and a woman holds incense or a lamp near the throne. Silver offering plates and brass vessels sit on a gold-trimmed low platform. Behind the throne, a deity murti is garlanded with yellow and orange flowers beneath a canopy, and red-and-white striped walls frame the courtyard. Roughly eight to ten people are visible.
