A man walks barefoot down a red carpet runner inside an open temple hall with a metal-framed roof. He wears a green silk dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered hem, a maroon shawl draped over his shoulders, a maroon and orange turban, and a beaded necklace, and his hands are folded in front of him. Behind him stands a large decorated shrine with a blue backdrop, featuring a deity murti with garlands and seated figures, flanked by orange drapes and a standing figure in a niche. A partially visible person in orange robes stands at the right edge. Steel handrails line the walkway, and matting covers the floor beside the carpet.
