A photograph inside an ornate hall with painted pillars and a gilded doorway. In the centre, a seated figure in a red-orange shawl and orange wrap, with an orange head wrap, sits with palms pressed together on a red-cushioned gold throne with lion arm rests. The figure's long hair is not clearly visible; the appearance cues are only partially visible, so the identity is uncertain. To the right, a deity murti in a yellow-gold base is heavily garlanded with red, yellow and green flower garlands. In the foreground, a shaved-headed devotee in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala faces the throne, holding a silver tray with offerings. Guardian figures flank the throne and a red carpet lies on the floor.
