A photograph inside a temple-style room with a black stone wall and an ornate wooden door. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-red saffron garment with gold borders and a long rudraksha mala, sits on a gilded throne decorated with a carved lion head and a tiger-skin cloth, with brass bells hanging above. Before the throne, thali trays hold brass bowls of offerings, flower petals, and lit oil lamps. Two men kneel with palms pressed together, one in a white shirt and one in orange with a white forehead mark, and a third person in white ritual clothes with a shaved head and white tilak stands with folded hands. A tilak-marked man in a saffron-coloured shirt bows nearby.
