A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne (peetha) inside a painted temple hall with pastel pink, green and blue decoration. He wears a deep red-maroon robe and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, sits with hands resting on the golden armrests, and gazes forward. The throne has a tiger-skin cloth draped on its seat and a golden crown-shaped backrest. Hanging brass oil lamps (lamps) with flames light the dark backdrop, and a brass oil lamp with a flame stands at the left edge. Three women in white, maroon and red saris sit in front of the throne with hands folded in devotion, and a woman in a pale sari sits at the lower left. a person appears as the seated figure on the throne, identified by the dark-red robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne setting.
