A seated figure in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an orange-cushioned throne-like seat in an outdoor temple courtyard, hands pressed together in prayer. Behind them stands a shrine with two painted deity murtis in red garments and garlands, with a golden arch above. Around the throne, people in white and yellow clothing sit on orange and purple mats; some hold offerings, and fruits, flowers and trays lie on the mat. A row of women in white and yellow sits on the right beside an orange-and-red railing and orange curtains, and a corrugated roof overhead.
