Indoor temple hall with a corrugated metal ceiling and a shrine decorated with orange and green drapes at the back. A man in an orange robe wearing a long red-and-white flower garland stands on a red carpet, with a bald man in white and orange in the foreground. Behind him, a man in white dhoti with gold beaded necklace holds a wooden tray with fruit and offerings, and a woman in a green patterned dress stands at a metal railing. Devotees in white and yellow shawls and a man in a pink shirt line the walkway. The figure in orange with the flower garland has a dark swept-back hairstyle and is the central figure of the scene; the resemblance to a distinctive presentation is not clear enough to confirm identity.
