A photograph of a ritual scene in a temple-like hall with a black slate wall and hanging brass bells and lamps. On the left, a man in a red-orange turban and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a golden lion-armrested throne draped with a leopard-print cushion, his hands clasped at his waist. In front of him a low gold-tinted table holds silver plates, a silver kalasha-style vessel, a lit oil lamp, and a tray of flowers and petals. Seated devotees in white ritual clothes with vibhuti on their foreheads, a girl in a white dress, and women in red and white saris sit with folded hands in worship. The throne figure's appearance is consistent with a person by his red turban and ornate throne setting, though the image is not conclusive.
