A photograph inside a brightly painted temple hall with pastel pink, green and blue walls. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a white tiger-skin cloth, as a person by appearance cues: saffron robes and rudraksha mala on the seated figure, with the throne setting. Two large painted guardian figures with raised weapons flank the doorway. Below, a woman in a red shawl and white sari sits at left reading from a book beside a microphone, while a woman in a white sari sits at right, with brass oil lamps lit along the floor and a kalasha-style setting in front of the throne.
