Photograph of a stage darshan before a large bronze-toned relief of a four-armed deity, seated in lotus pose and holding a book, with a crown and multiple necklaces, framed by colourful tassel garlands. A bearded man with long dark hair wearing a leopard-print garment over a rust-red cloth and layered rudraksha malas sits on a leopard-print seat, smiling. A kneeling devotee in white clothes faces him and offers a small object. Golden female attendant statues hold brass offering bowls at either side, and a standing man in an orange garment with a white-marked body stands at the left edge.
