Indoor photo of a seated figure on a golden throne with an ornate gold lion-head armrest, decorated with a flower garland and gold oil lamps hanging above. The seated figure wears an orange-red cloth and a rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial gold necklace; the face is partly turned and not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain. Standing beside the throne is an attendant in an orange turban and orange clothing. In front, a group of devotees sits on the floor around brass thalis holding flowers, fruit, kumkum and lamps, a puja setting. Women in white and cream saris and men in white shirts and dhotis sit close together. Behind them a door is decorated with garlands and a tray of fruit sits nearby.
