Two gold standing deity statues stand on either side of the arches. Seated devotees in orange-brown robes fill the front left and right, some with hands folded in prayer and one woman in white seated near the front left.

On the left, a bare-chested attendant in an orange dhoti stands with hands raised beside a flower-garlanded golden throne. On the right, a golden-framed seated deity murti in a blue and pink silk garment is adorned with garlands and gold ornaments. Golden standing figures flank the central shrine, with maroon curtains, multicoloured canopies and garlands framing the scene. Oil lamps are lit at the base of the stage. The central seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person; the attendant and deity murtis are not persons.2017-12-01A photograph of a stage at a temple-style hall with deep red drapes.
