A photo inside an ornate hall shows a seated figure on a gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions and a golden lion footrest. The seated person wears a rust-red turban, red-orange garments, bangles and a beaded necklace, and is having feet touched or honoured by a monk bending low in saffron robes. Around them stand several saffron-clad sannyasis in orange and yellow turbans and shawls, some with rudraksha malas, and a shaved-headed monk in a white and saffron top. A gold kalasha and offerings sit near the throne. The seated person has no clearly distinctive identifying cues, so their identity is uncertain. A red banner with a portrait of a turbaned figure hangs on the right wall.
