Photograph inside a marble-walled temple hall with a gold-and-red throne. Seated on the gilded throne with a red cushion is a figure in orange robes with a gold-bordered garment and a flower-decorated gold necklace and bangles, flanked by a bald priest in orange silk with gold border and a bare-shouldered orange wrap seated beside them. A standing priest in orange dhoti with a gold-band headpiece stands at the center, and an orange cloth lies on the floor. A red-and-gold flag hangs at upper left, and a shrine with lit lamps and deity images is visible in the background niche. The bald figure at left wears orange robes with a gold-and-saffron shawl and bangles; the seated figure has long hair pinned up and a garland-decorated gold necklace, with a flower-petal-strewn floor beneath.
