A crowded temple hall with a golden throne in the foreground. A bare-chested, shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron cloth sits on the gilded seat, wearing a beaded headband and layered rudraksha-style malas. Beside him, another man in an orange garment and beaded necklace is seated near the throne. Several women, one in a green blouse and dark shawl, lean in and reach toward the saffron cloth, touching it in devotion. Other devotees in white and yellow saris and dhotis stand around, and a young girl in a green dress watches. The setting is a stone-pillared temple interior with gold ornaments and a kalasha-like golden canopy in the background.
