Behind them, gold and yellow decorations, flower garlands and a golden deity murti are visible in a temple-like setting with red pillars.

In front of the throne, devotees sit on the floor behind silver plates holding oil lamps, flowers and fruit, and a brass platter stands on a cloth. Several people in white clothes and yellow shawls, some wearing ID lanyards, kneel and fold their hands in prayer; a woman in a yellow-and-maroon sari also sits with palms joined. In the background a painting of a saffron-robed figure hangs above a draped curtain with green leaf garlands, and a small deity murti sits on a side table.
