Before the throne, a devotee in an orange robe kneels with three women in orange saris, all seated on the floor facing the throne. Painted deity murtis with crowns and red-pink dhotis flank the doorway, and bells and lamps hang from the canopy. Red and patterned rugs cover the polished white floor.2013-07-30A golden throne (peetha) stands in a shrine niche framed by painted yellow-and-red pillars with deity figures holding lamps.
