An empty golden throne with a red velvet cushion stands in a shrine room with a yellow wall and checkered floor. Seated on it is a cutout photograph of a smiling man with a red turban bearing a tilak-like emblem, wearing a red-orange robe, rudraksha and multicolour beaded malas, gold necklaces and gold bangles, his hands in a teaching gesture. Behind the throne hangs a framed painting of a bare-chested figure with a rudraksha mala holding a child. Gold trishula staffs flank the throne, garlands of red flowers line the wall, a gold kalasha-style vessel with silver padukas sits on a pedestal, and a brass bell and plate of flowers lie on the floor.
