A temple shrine inside a stone mandapa with carved pillars and gold-framed niches. Inside the shrine stand deity murtis of a crowned goddess in gold and silver garments and a seated figure with flowing hair, both garlanded with marigold and red-white flower garlands. A brass lamp stand and oil lamps flank the shrine, and a silver yantra-like plate sits on the altar. In the foreground at right, a man with long hair and a saffron-orange garment, wearing a flower garland, stands facing the shrine in quiet devotion. Open courtyard and greenery are visible beyond the curtains.
