Interior of a small temple shrine with gold-painted walls and a corrugated metal roof. On the left stands a life-size painted figure of a smiling man in an orange and saffron dhoti-style garment with a saffron turban, wearing a multi-coloured flower garland and gold necklaces; this is a statue, not a physical person. Along the right wall are three niches: a black stone deity murti garlanded with yellow marigolds and white flowers, a Shiva lingam draped in a red cloth and wrapped in yellow and white flower garlands, and a golden seated figure with a yellow garland. Brass oil lamps burn on the red-painted floor platform, a brass plate holds fruit, and a wall fan is mounted above.
