A photograph inside a temple-style hall with painted pillars in blue, pink and green. Two painted dvarapala-like guardian figures with multiple arms and gold crowns stand on either side of a gold-and-red ornate throne. A bearded man in a maroon turban, white-and-red garments and a pink flower garland sits on the throne, flanked by a gold statue of a bull (nandi) on the floor in front. Two shaven, bare-chested men in white dhotis kneel or sit on the floor near the throne. In the foreground, a long-haired person in an orange robe sits on a striped rug facing the throne, with a camera on a tripod recording the scene at right. Multicoloured striped rugs cover the floor, and hanging bells and string lights decorate the entrance.
