A stone-pillared temple shrine open on the sides with orange curtains draped at the entrance. At the centre stands a deity murti of a crowned, multi-armed form with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds, flanked by a consort in pink and blue. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In front, a gilded ornate pedestal holds a framed photograph of a saffron-robed man with long hair, seated in meditation with a rudraksha mala, bordered by marigold garlands; the photograph is a printed portrait, not a physical person. Two partially visible people sit at the lower edges of the frame, one with dark hair and one with a shaved head, and a red-and-gold wooden box stands on each side of the pedestal.
