A photograph of a devotional stage with a golden throne backed by a large gold bull-shaped (nandi) carving and a seated figure with a red-orange turban and orange saffron robes, hands pressed in namaskar, sitting on a red cushioned seat with silver-trimmed armrests. Beside him stands a standing deity murti draped in garlands of yellow, orange and pink flowers, adorned with a crown and silver necklaces, seated on a blue cloth. To the left, a shirtless attendant with long dreadlocks in an orange dhoti lifts a flame toward the murti, with oil lamps burning on the floor. A golden female figure stands between them, and a gold-crowned deity murti sits on the throne backdrop, garlanded with flowers. Red curtains hang behind; the seated figure is visibly unsure as a candidate. Three people are visible in the scene.
