Inside a dark shrine room, a seated figure on a gold-and-cream throne with a golden lion-head armrest receives an aarti. He wears an orange-and-maroon garment and a long pink-and-white flower garland, and his hands are raised in anjali near his chest. Behind him is a wall of red, white, purple and green flowers. Several people stand or kneel at a gold tray of brass plates holding oil lamps, red fruit, flowers and sweets; one woman in a pink sari holds a lit lamp, and a man in a light blue shirt raises his hands toward the flames. Brass hanging lamps and bells hang from chains, and a wooden door with a lattice pattern is on the right.
