Photograph of a decorated altar room with a red curtain backdrop. On the left, a bare-chested priest in orange cloth with a tied topknot raises a lit oil lamp toward a gold-framed deity murti adorned with a silver-and-gold ornament and multicoloured garlands. On the right, a large life-size cutout or printed image of a bearded man in an orange turban, orange robe, rudraksha-style beads and gold necklaces sits on a red cushioned throne flanked by silver lion figures, with a gold-framed throne canopy bearing a second murti and rose-and-yellow garlands.

Flanking him are gold-framed niches with garlanded deity murtis, a green-clad figure on the left and a seated deity murti in green and gold on the right, plus a gold standing figure. A hand at the lower left holds a brass oil lamp with several lit flames. The cutout appears to be a printed image, not a physical person, and the copyright overlay is not described.2017-11-27A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange turban sits on a silver throne with red cushions, wearing a large saffron-and-gold beaded mala and gold bangles, raising one hand in blessing.

He sits on a silver-framed throne with red cushions, flanked by silver lions, and the backdrop is a deep red curtain. Gold arched thrones on either side hold decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow and multicolour flowers. Standing gold figures and an oil lamp are on the stage, and a priest in orange cloth at the left edge, partly visible, performs a lamp offering.

To the right, a golden deity murti stands in a gold niche, draped in green cloth and marigold garlands with a jewelled crown. Two golden female attendant figures flank the central throne, and an oil lamp with flames is visible at the far left edge, held by a partially visible hand.
