A photograph of an empty ornate ritual courtyard with red walls and a stone floor. A carved wooden throne-like seat with a golden canopy and orange marigold garlands sits on a raised platform, with a small low table in front. Brass and gold ceremonial items fill the space: a large brass bowl of yellow flowers, golden peacock and swan figures, golden elephant statues in the foreground, tall brass lamp stands draped with flower garlands, and a golden kalasha-style vessel. Framed portraits hang high on the wall at the top right and top left. No people are visible.
