Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) inside a brightly painted blue and green temple doorway, framed by a golden canopy and garlands of marigolds and white flowers. The seated person, in orange-red ceremonial dress with a long white garland, has hands raised in namaskar. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. In the foreground a tiered brass oil-lamp stand holds many lit flames, and a standing brass lamp stands at right. Two women in orange saris and a man in white sit at the sides, one holding a lamp, all facing the throne. A reflective polished floor mirrors the scene. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face is too small to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.
