Photograph of a temple-style hall with painted guardian figures in red and orange with multiple arms holding tridents and maces, flanking a central shrine. In the shrine, a framed portrait shows a seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala on a gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion, labelled as a portrait. In front of the shrine, a woman in a red-orange sari sits on the glossy floor speaking into a microphone, while several people in orange or red robes kneel near a brass vessel with offerings. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides and small rugs lie on the floor.
