A photograph of a ceremonial puja inside an indoor hall with red curtains. A figure with long dark hair falling down the back, wearing a red-brown garment and a pink-beaded wrist band, stands with one arm raised, facing a silver ornate throne (peetha) decorated with a silver canopy, garlands of white, red, yellow and purple flowers, and carved lion-like motifs. Two attendants in saffron-orange dhotis, bare-chested with white body markings and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, stand to the left; one holds a silver bowl and the other a silver staff. On the right, a backdrop shows a glowing illuminated temple gopuram against a starry night sky, beside a gold standing deity statue. A small silver lamp stand and pink flowers sit in front of the throne.
