A tall column of bright orange flame rises from a fire pit built of pale stacked bricks, decorated with scattered red and yellow marigold petals and flower heads. Thin dried stalks lie across the bricks. Behind the fire, a gold-coloured deity murti is draped in a red silk cloth and adorned with a long white and yellow flower garland. Another flower-decorated altar stands at the left edge.
