Photograph inside a painted temple hall with pink, green and blue decorative walls and a painted guardian figure with a mace on the left. Seated on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth is a figure in red-brown robes with a long rudraksha mala, hands raised in a gesture of teaching; the figure appears to be a person in a satsang setting, with a shaved-headed devotee in saffron-orange robes and a gold-edged shawl kneeling in the foreground. Brass oil lamps with flames stand beside the throne, and a row of small lamps hangs in the dark background. Two attendants in red sit near the dais.
