Photograph of a puja at a golden throne set up on a striped multicolour cloth. A bearded man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and bare upper body, sits cross-legged on a yellow cushion with palms pressed together in namaste, facing the throne. On the golden throne sits a seated figure with a turban, a long beard, bangles and a garland of white and red flowers, which is a statue or murti rather than a living person. Nearby stand a golden standing female statue, a golden ganesha figure, brass oil lamps, kalasha-style vessels, brass bowls of flowers, kumkum and offerings. A small framed portrait stands behind the lamps.
