A gilded wooden throne with ornate carved backrest, lion-shaped armrests and carved legs stands in a temple hall. Seated on it is a small deity murti or statue dressed in a dark maroon cloth and draped with a multicoloured garland of yellow, white, pink and purple flowers, with a leopard-print cloth spread at its base. Below the throne, on a green cloth, sits a second garlanded figure with a coconut and mango leaves in front. A large screen with people is visible at left, and a brass lamp stands at right. The image is a timestamped photograph showing the throne and garlanded murti, with no visible physical people in the foreground.
