A photograph of a ceremony in a dark wooden-walled shrine lit by many brass oil lamps. A figure in an orange-saffron garment with an orange head covering sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a multicoloured flower garland, with a golden lion carving at its base. Seated devotees in front, some with palms pressed together in anjali, face the throne; a woman in a blue top and a man in white kurta are among them. Brass oil lamps stand on the left and fruit sits in a basket at the lower edge. The figure's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, with an orange head covering, orange clothing and a garland, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues; the image is a photo of a pratyaksha pada puja style event.
