A photograph of a golden-faced deity murti seated on an ornate throne against a green draped backdrop during an inner awakening darshan. The figure wears a jeweled crown, a heavily embellished blue-and-gold necklace with red and white stones, and white dhoti-like draping, with a trident-like staff at left and a raised hand with a ritual implement at right. A person in a red turban and dark garment bows with head down at the lower right edge, and another ceremonial figure in a red-and-gold crown sits at the right. Ornate garlands and beaded cloth decorate the scene. No a person candidate with distinctive visible cues is present; the figures are a statue and a bowing devotee.
