A photograph inside a temple-like shrine with a dark slate wall and brass bells and oil lamps hanging above. On the left, a life-size golden seated figure on a golden throne with lion heads and a leopard-print cushion wears a red turban and a pink-and-white flower garland, holding a silver staff; the figure appears to be a statue, not a living person. In the foreground at a gold-covered table, a woman in a cream and pastel sari with a bindi offers something from a silver plate. Behind the table, a boy with a bare chest and a red-marked forehead, a man in white with a tilak, and a figure in a saffron robe are seated, with a small plate of flower petals and marigold-red blossoms in front. A wall-mounted air conditioner and a brass oil lamp on a stand sit at the left edge.
