A photograph of a temple shrine interior with a golden throne-like seat centered before a large framed portrait of a smiling figure in orange robes and an orange turban, the portrait labelled with no readable caption. Two painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with four arms and orange-green dhoti flank the doorway. A shaven-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala, seen from behind on the left, raises a tiered silver aarti lamp toward the shrine. Brass oil lamps line the platform and a red carpet covers the floor. Several seated devotees in orange and maroon robes perform puja near the throne, and a wall mural in blue, green and orange frames the scene.
