A photograph inside an ornate temple-style hall with a gilded carved throne and blue and white tiled panels. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a maroon-red robe with an orange edge, a rudraksha-style neck mala and a garland of pink and white flowers, extends his hand while a woman in a pink top with a long braid and white flower in her hair kneels before him, apparently performing padapuja. Another man in a maroon shawl and orange-bordered robe with a beaded armband sits at left, and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered shawl is at right. The gesture and garland suggest a ritual honouring of the seated figure, and the seated figure's appearance is a probable match to a person, with long swept hair, a garland, and maroon ritual robes.
