Two standing statues in orange and saffron dhotis with bead garlands stand on either side, and a Shivalinga-like object decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands sits at the base, with a kalasha-style arrangement above it. A white-clad devotee with a shaved head stands in the foreground before the offerings, with brass oil lamps and small offering dishes around them. The walls are carved grey stone.2014-07-15July 15 20142014-07-15July 15 20142014-07-15April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA devotee in white clothing with a red sash raises a brass aarti lamp before a shrine of deity murti.
