A framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe sits on a gilded throne-like seat inside a temple shrine, flanked by two painted dvarapala-style guardian statues with four arms, gold jewelry and striped pink-and-red dhotis. Above the throne hangs a gold canopy with hanging bells and oil lamps. Blurred devotees with folded hands are in the foreground near lit oil lamps, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. The portrait is a printed picture, not a person present in the scene.
