A photograph of a seated person on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests inside a dark shrine room with hanging brass bells and oil lamps. The central figure wears a rust-red and orange garment with a gold border, a rudraksha mala, and bands on the upper arms, with a white tilak on the forehead and hair swept back; the appearance is consistent with a person seated in a ritual setting, though this is an appearance-based label only. Before the throne, a woman in a green sari sits facing him, and several women in white and maroon saris sit with hands folded in prayer. Silver thalis hold flower garlands, marigolds, red fruit and kumkum-marked offerings arranged in front of the throne, indicating puja or padapuja.
