A photograph of a gilded temple-style stage with ornate golden carved panels, hanging brass bells and a dark curtain behind. At centre a seated man in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a tilak sits before a large golden deity murti with a crown and a cobra hood, flanked by smaller figures. The man has long dark hair and his hands are joined in a gesture of greeting. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge, a trident-like staff rests beside him, and a brass kalasha or lamp sits at the lower right on a patterned mat. The seated figure is presented as a person by appearance cues such as long hair, orange-brown clothing and a rudraksha mala, though the image is uncertain.
