A dimly lit shrine room at night. A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe is garlanded with a long white and yellow flower garland and wears an ornate crown-like headpiece, positioned before a dark draped backdrop. Three framed black-and-white portraits are lit above, arranged on a green-lit niche. Two people in white robes stand at the left and right edges, one with hands folded in reverence, and small oil lamps glow along the lower foreground beside potted green plants. The scene suggests a darshan or puja setting.
