A photograph inside an open-sided temple pavilion with a corrugated roof and iron trusses. At the centre stands a shrine with a red-draped backdrop and a deity murti of two figures seated together, decorated with yellow and multicoloured garlands and flower offerings at its base. Orange curtains hang at the sides and white stone pillars frame the altar. In the foreground, a man with dark hair wears a white garment with a yellow shawl and walks toward the shrine, while other people in white and yellow shawls stand along the railings on either side. The people in the picture are devotees, and the figures on the altar are statues.
