A gilded ornate throne stands in a shrine with a large framed portrait of a smiling man in orange-saffron turban and orange shawl, marked with a red tilak, placed above a tiger-skin cushion. Hanging brass oil lamps and dark beaded strands surround it. In front, a seated devotee in white dhoti with gold border and bare upper back faces the throne, flanked by women in deep red-orange sarees and a man with white forehead markings. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, and its caption reads a printed name.
