A man in a rust-orange robe with a gold-bordered cloth and a long mala of golden beads and rudraksha sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, draped with a striped tiger-print cloth, in a hall with hanging brass oil lamps. A red-brown bindi marks his forehead and he wears bangles. Seated on the floor before the throne are a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with white sacred marks on his arm and three women in saris, one in pink and red, tending offerings on a gold pedestal. Behind the throne is a dark stone wall with rows of small bead strands.
