Indoor shrine room with yellow walls and a black-and-white checkered floor. A large gold ornate throne with lion-head armrests and a red velvet seat stands at center. Seated on the throne is a life-size cutout or printed photograph of a smiling bearded man in an orange-red robe and red turban, with a gold necklace, multicoloured bead garlands and rudraksha-style beads, raising one hand in blessing; this is a depiction, not a physically present person. Above it hangs a framed painting of a deity pair in an embrace with a trident and an orange-gold glow. Flanking the throne are tall gold trident stands and gold kalasha-style finials, with a brass bowl of flowers and offerings, a bell and a brass plate with petals in front. Floral garlands drape the wall. Timestamp overlay reads 19 Jul 2022, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
