Interior of a temple hall with a crowd of devotees pressing around a shrine niche with an orange-brown door, decorated with gold-painted pillars and a colourful tiered gopuram-style roof above. On the left, a seated figure in a tall red-orange turban and orange robes, garlanded with marigold and rudraksha-style strands, sits on a silver-and-gold throne; a shaved-headed attendant in saffron stands beside him, and a woman in orange sari is nearby. Many men in white dhotis and shirts, some in saffron shawls, and women in white saris stand close together. Ceiling fans and ceremonial banners hang along the walls. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person presence, seated on the throne with a turban and saffron ornate clothing, but the face is not clearly distinguishable.
