At the end of the path, a deity murti dressed in yellow and pink garments stands within a golden arched frame, with a blue-draped seated figure in the foreground.

A dim, narrow corridor with metal railings leads toward a bright shrine at the far end. Inside the lit arch, a seated deity murti in colourful garments sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, flanked by red curtains and a white-and-grey stone archway. No people are clearly visible in the foreground; faint silhouettes appear at the edges of the dark hall. The red carpet runs down the middle of the walkway.

The shrine is framed by a red arch and holds a deity murti in pink and gold clothing with a bright red backdrop. A small offering lamp sits on the platform in front. Several people stand and move in the dim side areas beside the walkway, mostly in shadow, and the corridor is lit mainly by light from the shrine.

A photograph taken down a covered, dim walkway toward a temple shrine. A narrow red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings, and a few silhouetted people stand or walk along it toward the lit shrine.

Several dim figures, including a person in dark clothes near the centre, are visible. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
