Behind him, a deity murti with a gold crown, yellow and purple dress and garlands of marigold and orange flowers stands on a stone platform beside a second adorned figure, with brass oil lamps (deepas) flanking the shrine. Orange curtains hang at the sides and a red-painted staircase and iron gate are visible at right.
