A temple shrine interior with a golden arched backdrop holding a group of deity murtis: a central figure in red and gold robes with a crown, flanked by two figures in ornate dress, all garlanded with white and orange flower strands. A seated bearded figure in a red turban and white-and-gold garland stands to the right of the group. A tall silver lamp stand with many lit oil lamps and round gold medallions dominates the right foreground, and a dark stone statue with a striped cloth sits at lower left. Above, a framed portrait shows a man in pink clothing, and red and gold banners with patterned borders hang on the walls, with a brass bell set on a hook at right.
