Inside a gilded temple shrine, a deity murti of a multi-armed goddess in red and pink silk, with a red-and-gold crown, sits on a throne beside a standing consort in a white sari with black dots and a purple blouse, both garlanded with yellow, red and purple flowers. A small seated figure in a yellow robe and turban, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits in front of the deities on the altar with brass lamps and offerings. In the foreground, a standing man in orange robes with bare shoulders and a rudraksha mala faces the altar with his back to the camera, in an attitude of worship. Teal drapes frame the gold arch behind the shrine.
