Dimly lit indoor temple scene at night. A man in orange-red robes sits on a flower-garlanded throne seat decorated with white and yellow blossoms, a shawl draped over his shoulders. A person in a dark red top bends forward at the base of the throne, apparently offering reverence. Nearby, a smiling woman in an orange wrap sits on the floor among seated devotees in white. Colourful decorated figures or deity forms are visible in the background, and several standing people in white and red clothing watch. The throne figure shows possible cues of long hair and saffron-orange clothing but is not clearly identifiable, so appearance alone is uncertain.
