A photograph inside a small room with lime-green walls and a dark wooden door, where devotees gather around an orange-cushioned seat decorated with white jasmine garlands and red rose garlands. A seated figure with long dark hair, a white garland and a forehead mark receives devotees, who bow with hands folded and touch the figure's feet. Among them, a priest in orange-saffron cloth with rudraksha malas holds a camera. Women in white saris with flowers in their hair and a woman in a red blouse kneel nearby. Framed portraits on the wall show a figure in white and one in orange, decorated with garlands, and a flower-filled picture hangs above. A brass oil lamp stands at right.
