In front, a large white statue of a seated figure is decorated with garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers, wears an orange headcloth, a white-and-maroon brocade shawl with a gold waist band, and holds a rudraksha-style bead mala. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine and a small brass lamp and vessel sit at the base. No living people are visible.
