Devotees crowd around a large ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and lion-head armrests, draped in red cushions. A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban, saffron robe and a garland of white and blue flowers rests hands on the lion armrests, receiving visitors. Devotees include a man in white with folded hands, a woman in a white sari with a garland, a woman in a green-and-gold sari, and a woman with dark beaded necklaces. Two matching gold thrones flank the central one against red curtains. Surrounding priests in saffron-orange clothing assist, and a line of people approaches the throne for darshan.
