A photograph inside a large hall with a thatched palm-leaf roof and exposed wooden beams, taken from behind a crowd of seated devotees. At the front, a figure in orange-saffron robes sits cross-legged on a raised ornate dais or throne framed by a decorated arch with white and pink flower garlands. The seated figure is in an orange robe with a visible garland; the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity. Devotees in white clothing sit on the floor in rows, some with flowers in their hair. A standing attendant in white stands at the right edge near a wooden pillar. Lattice panels fill the side walls and a light bulb hangs from the ceiling.
