A photograph inside a temple shrine with a golden arched backdrop and red curtain. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a floral garland, stands at left with one hand raised in greeting toward a large golden deity murti seated on a golden throne with purple draped cloth. The murti wears a red and orange turban, a crown, and heavy gold necklaces, holding a trident-like staff. In front are a brass kalasha, flower garlands in red, yellow and white, brass oil lamps, and a red floral arrangement. A second orange-robed attendant kneels at the left, and a figure in a red cap and white clothing sits near the offerings.
