A seated man in a red sash and maroon dhoti with a pale pink turban sits in a red velvet throne chair with gold trim, bare feet on a gold footstool, facing a Durga-style goddess murti with multiple arms and a lion mount in an illuminated shrine. Brass oil lamps and marigold garlands sit on a white cloth before the murti, with more deity figures and white floral arches behind. The shrine is beneath a sign reading Sri ... Iswara Temple. Appearance cues are limited; the seated man's identity is uncertain.
