A photograph inside a temple-style hall with a deep red, zebra-patterned throne and red cushions. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha-style red-brown wrap stands on the throne, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt. Garlands of red and white flowers hang around the throne, and brass lamps stand on both sides. A statue of a seated deity and a figure in saffron with a rudraksha mala appear in a backdrop on the left, and a stone carved wall frames the scene. Piles of orange cloth and fruit lie on the platform in front of the throne, consistent with a blessing or darshan moment.
