A photograph of a dimly lit shrine room with dark textured walls lined by vertical strings of small lamps. Brass oil lamps stand in front of the throne, and a gold tray holds offerings of flowers and sweets. Several people sit on the floor in front of the throne, including a woman in a red top and a man in white with hands folded in anjali, with a few others partly visible in the foreground. The scene suggests darshan before a seated spiritual teacher.

A figure in an orange-saffron garment with an orange head covering sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a multicoloured flower garland, with a golden lion carving at its base. Seated devotees in front, some with palms pressed together in anjali, face the throne; a woman in a blue top and a man in white kurta are among them.
