Devotees seated on a raised red platform in a golden temple hall, viewed from behind, with palms raised in a gesture of worship toward a central figure seated before an ornate shrine. The seated figure wears an orange-brown turban, a red-brown garment and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, with hands raised in blessing. Behind him stands a large floral arrangement of yellow marigolds, red and green garlands and a golden canopy. Golden lion-figure pillars flank the shrine, with deity murti figures and a golden kalasha-like crown above. Devotees wear white dhotis and kurtas, cream and gold saris, and one wears an orange top. A white-tiled floor and a red cloth-covered dais complete the scene.
