Inside a temple hall with a pillar and golden-hued wall, a seated figure in saffron-orange silk garments, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, wearing a jeweled golden headband with a braided topknot, sits on a golden throne-like seat with a gold armrest. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a sandalwood-marked forehead gestures with his hands toward the seated figure, while standing onlookers in white and light-coloured shirts, and a woman in a teal sari with white flowers in her hair, watch. Other attendees are devotees or staff.
