The shrine is a carved wooden cabinet draped with orange and white marigold and jasmine garlands, with a small framed photograph and a wall mirror-like framed picture of a deity above. On the left wall hangs a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes with a beaded necklace, draped with flower garlands. Smoke rises from the shrine, and a sliver of another person in white is visible at the right edge.
