Dim temple interior with an ornate gold-carved throne (peetha) draped with red cushions and orange and white flower garlands. A framed portrait on the throne shows a figure in orange robes and a beaded necklace. A bald man in white dhoti and white upper cloth kneels at the left, reaching toward the throne in what appears to be a paduka puja offering. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha-style vessel with flowers sit nearby, with a lit flame at the upper right and a red curtain behind. The scene shows a single devotee in worship with no visible crowd.
