Photo of a temple-style hall stage decorated with golden deity murtis and vahanas, several adorned with floral garlands in red, yellow and orange. A bald priest in a rust-red dhoti and shawl stands at left, holding a ritual vessel and gesturing toward the shrine. Seated at centre-right is a figure in orange-red clothing amid potted plants and boulders, before a painted forest backdrop. Spotlights hang from the ceiling. Right, a golden throne-like seat holds a garlanded deity image. The image is consistent with a morning satsang and homa setting.
