A photograph inside a temple-style room with dark walls and a heavy carved wooden door. A seated figure on a gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion and lion-shaped armrest raises a small brass handbell in one hand and extends a bare foot toward a gold tray. The figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with armlets. A gold table holds many small silver-rimmed plates of flowers and offerings, and brass oil lamps hang nearby. Around the table, devotees sit in white and orange clothing, one woman wears a red-and-gold sari with vibhuti on her forehead, and a bald man in white wears an orange lanyard. Seated devotees are visible; the photograph shows about six people.
