Interior of a temple hall with painted blue walls and pink-and-green pillars. Two large painted dvarapala-style guardian statues with crowns, gold jewellery and red-and-green dhotis stand on either side of a central doorway. Inside the golden-framed shrine, a seated man in a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-gold garland sits on an ornate gold throne. Several women in orange and red saris sit on the floor before him, with a small offering tray in front. Brass oil lamps line the walls, and a young woman in a dark top sits on a red carpet at right. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan.
