A shrine room with a gold canopied altar and gold-framed photographs on the walls. On the left, a seated figure in pink and a pink turban sits on a red velvet throne, garlanded with white flowers and holding a hand raised in blessing, with a red-cushioned footstool in front. A green-clad deity murti with garland stands to the left of the altar, and a bronze-like deity murti in a purple cloth with garlands sits centre on a red base. Black-and-white portraits hang in the gold arch, and a gold pedestal with a garland stands at the right. Offering vessels sit on a low table in the foreground. Framed colour photographs show crowds and ritual scenes. The figure on the throne is a seated devotional image; no physical people are visible.

Seated on a gilded red-cushioned throne-chair is a bald, bare-chested man wearing a saffron-orange dhoti-wrap and rudraksha malas. The left background shows deity murti in ornate arched niches decorated with red and yellow marigold garlands, with a shivalinga-style object in front. Brass lamps and flower offerings sit on the platform. The seated man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm his identity, so he is described by role only as a seated devotee at the shrine.2019-07-16December 25 20132013-12-25
