A photograph of a temple-like hall with painted pink and blue walls. In the centre, a seated figure in orange robes and a beaded mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a gilded backrest, flanked by two large painted guardian figures holding tridents and weapons. In the foreground, a man in orange robes and a sacred marking on his forehead holds a large lit oil lamp aarti toward the throne. Two women in white saris kneel near the throne and another woman stands beside them. Brass lamps stand at the right edge, and the floor is polished white marble. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is recorded as unsure.
