A dark maroon curtain hangs behind the shrine and a white floor-standing air conditioner is at the right edge.2014-08-21August 21 20142014-08-21A priest in an orange dhoti and shawl with pink borders, wearing a rudraksha bead necklace and bead armlets, holds a multi-wick brass oil lamp toward a golden Ganesha murti seated on a gold-embossed throne.

A person in a long red-orange robe with long dark hair holds a brass lamp with a flame and incense smoke, performing aarti before the murti. Brass oil lamps and a brass kalasha-like vessel stand beside red drapes, and a smaller seated figure in orange robes and a red cap sits at the base of the shrine. The person's face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain and no specific claim is made.2008-12-23August 15 20182018-08-15February 16 20162016-02-16A devotee stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a golden arched shrine.
