A photograph inside a temple-style hall with painted pillars and a colourful carved backdrop. A man with a shaved-head tilak, wearing a brown-red garment and a thick red and yellow flower garland, sits on a red throne flanked by golden lion figures; he smiles, and his bare foot rests on a golden footstool. A woman in a green and blue silk sari with a white flower garland kneels at the foot of the throne and places her hand on a gold-patterned tray, while a man in white with a flower garland kneels beside her. Behind them stand saffron-robed attendants, a man in white dhoti with a red shawl with hands folded, and a woman in orange sari with a garland. Several devotees, including a child in a brown outfit, watch from the back. A brass lamp stands nearby.
