A photograph of a smiling figure seated on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion head and draped with a tiger-striped cushion. The seated figure wears a rust-red and mustard-yellow garment, a multi-strand red flower garland, gold necklaces and an armlet, and is barefoot. Behind the throne hang brass bells and small brass oil lamps. In front, several devotees sit on the floor: a woman in pale blue, a woman in white, a man with a white forehead mark in a red-brown garment, and a man in white. Trays of red and white flower petals, sweets and offerings are arranged on the floor. The seated figure appears to be a person, identified by the crimson and gold flower garland, the gold regalia and throne, and the reclining seated pose with a rudraksha-style red garland; the setting is a black-walled room with an air conditioner. Three to four people are visible.
