Empty ceremonial seat set up for a darshan or puja. A cream upholstered settee with carved wooden arms sits centrally on a patterned rug before deep red velvet drapes. Above it hangs a large gilt-framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a white bead necklace, seated with one hand raised in blessing, against a tree-trunk backdrop. The frame is draped with a marigold garland in yellow, orange and green. Flanking the seat are two white pedestals holding vases with orange and yellow flowers. A brass bell and a silver tray of flower petals sit on the floor in front. No people are visible.
