A group photo in a temple hall with painted pillars and a gilded arch. At centre, a man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange cloth, a red and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, seated on a golden throne-like seat under a canopy. Around him stand a dozen adults and children in saris, dhotis and shirts. Many wear marigold and red garlands; some hold trays. In front are many offering trays with bananas, pineapples, watermelon, jackfruit, mangoes, apples and sweets, with plantain leaves and packaged snacks. Painted deity figures flank the pillars and oil lamps hang above.
