On the left, a dark stone deity murti with an orange headcloth and orange shawl stands inside a silver-framed shrine behind green cloth, with red kumkum and flower petals on the base. A bald priest in orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a sacred thread, holds a lit flame and a handbell at the murti. Behind him stand devotees: several in orange-red robes and women in white saris with hands folded in prayer. A man in a blue checked shirt on the right holds a tray of flowers and offerings.
