Seated on the golden throne is a man in orange saffron robes with a dark rudraksha mala, holding a small white card. Standing before him, a man in a yellow striped shirt presses his palms together while others in white shirts and an orange-shawled attendant stand nearby. Garlands in orange, purple and white hang from the shrine and brass lamps line the pillars. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person seated on a throne in saffron with rudraksha beads, though the frame does not confirm his identity.
