A photograph inside a temple doorway shows a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a carved lion-like backrest and a gold canopy above. The figure wears a maroon turban with a gold band, a red robe, a garland of red and white flowers, and ceremonial gold necklaces; the right hand is raised in blessing and the left holds a silver trident. Below, a person in a maroon robe is seen from behind in a pada puja, and two women in white sit at the base offering flames from oil lamps. Brass hanging lamps and bells hang from the ceiling, and the frame is decorated with painted deity figures. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with cues of a maroon turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and the trident.
