A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a golden throne decorated with a multicoloured floral garland backdrop, a white flower garland draped around his neck, and gold bangles on his wrists. Silver and brass oil lamps stand around the throne against a dark backdrop with string lights. In front of him a gold tray holds brass plates of offerings, some with red fruit or sweets, and devotees sit and kneel nearby, including a woman in a blue top with hands pressed together and a man in a white shirt with an ID lanyard. This appears to be a pratyaksha pada puja setting with lamps and offerings.
