A seated man in an orange-red robe and a rudraksha mala, with a long swept-back hairstyle and a bare left arm bearing a red armband, sits smiling on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-head armrest. Before him, several devotees kneel on the floor around silver-rimmed brass trays heaped with fruit, marigold garlands and red-topped offerings, consistent with a puja or padapuja. A hanging brass bell and oil lamps hang from above, and a tall gold-painted deity murti stands at the left edge beside a pink-and-white door. Devotees wear a white shirt, green kurta, red and orange saris and orange garments, and one woman wears a lanyard. The room is dark-walled with an air conditioner unit mounted on the wall.

A smiling man in saffron-orange robes, with a white forehead mark, rudraksha mala beads and a red-orange arm band, sits on a golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest. Before him a round gold table holds many silver plates of offerings with fruit, flowers and yellow marigold petals. Around it sit devotees: a young man in a green kurta, a man in a white shirt, a woman in a pink sari, an older woman in a green top with an orange shawl, and a man in a yellow checked shirt; two more people are partly visible in the foreground. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells hang from chains behind the throne, and a painted deity figure stands at the left edge.2015-02-01August 20 20142014-08-20February 01 20152015-02-01A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-head arms and a gilded backrest, draped in a tiger-striped cloth.
