A temple shrine photographed from the front under an open-sided roof with orange curtains tied to red pillars. At the centre, a deity murti with a crown and garlands sits in a gold-arched niche behind a golden peetha holding a framed portrait of a seated man in orange robes. Several devotees in white and saffron clothing sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground, some with hair in braids, facing the shrine during a padapuja-style worship. Brass lamps, a kalasha-like offering and marigold garlands surround the altar, and carved grey stone pillars frame the scene with green trees behind.
