A photograph of a shrine room with a golden ornate chair draped in red velvet and marigold garlands, holding a framed portrait of a smiling man with a red-orange turban, orange robes, gold necklaces and a red-and-pink flower garland; the portrait is a depiction, not a physical person. In the foreground at lower left, a bare-chested priest in orange cloth sits on the ground behind an offering spread on a striped cloth, with green-plated fruit including bananas, apples and oranges, a plate of nuts, and a small brass lamp and bell. Behind the chair, a deity murti sits within a gilded niche with garlands and a brass lamp stand. Yellow walls and green sacks complete the setting.
