A crowded interior of a temple hall with ornate stone pillars and a golden throne in the foreground. A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long swept-back hair, a crown-like headpiece, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, receives devotees on a red-cushioned gold seat; he appears to be a person. Beside him, a man in orange cloth and beads stands with hands together. Devotees in white garments and a woman in a maroon sari with a jasmine garland approach to offer something, while a woman in an orange-and-maroon sari stands nearby. In the foreground an elderly shaved-headed priest in orange with bead necklaces kneels and offers something to the seated figure. Crowd members in white and casual dress press in from behind.
