An outdoor temple courtyard shaded by leafy trees, lined with black stone shivalinga on red-and-white striped plinths. In the centre, a gold-painted arched frame encloses a colourful deity murti with a trident and a tall headdress, flanked by smaller gold arches holding more painted murtis. Two men stand on the path: one in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl holding a plate, and one in white dhoti and shirt walking beside him. Potted palms and a paved stone walkway lead through the grounds, with a dark signboard set among the plinths.
