An empty ornate golden throne (peetha) stands centred on a red-carpeted dais in front of a temple-carved backdrop with two large stone lion guardians. Above the throne hangs a framed photograph, garlanded with red and yellow flowers, of a smiling man with long dark hair in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation under a banyan tree with one hand raised. Brass oil lamps (deepa) flank the platform, with red flowers in vases, a small basket of fruit on a side table, and a red cushioned footstool in front of the throne. The throne is unoccupied, so no physical person is present. The framed portrait is a depiction on a wall, not a physical person.
