A photo inside a bright white-walled hall where a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-footed armrests is garlanded with dense bands of yellow, purple and red flowers. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a beaded mala and a long rudraksha-style garland, and the frame also shows a second orange-clad figure on a golden seat in the background with a saffron head wrap. Devotees sit on the floor in front of the throne holding brass plates of flowers and offerings: a man in white with glasses, a young man in an orange shirt, women in white, orange and green saris, and a woman in a pink sari. A white air cooler and a small fan stand at the back, with a purple bird logo at upper left.
