Inside a temple shrine, a golden ornate throne with a tiger-skin cushion sits centred under a small gold canopy hung with bells. Set on the throne is a framed photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a white bead mala, seated before a banyan-like tree and raising one hand. Flanking the shrine are painted multi-armed guardian figures with gold crowns, gold waist belts and green sashes. In the left foreground a lit oil lamp flame blurs, and a microphone stands at the bottom.
