Inside the shrine, a deity murti with a red cloth and a green garland sits on a tiled platform beneath a painted pink and red canopy decorated with a Vishnu-style urdhva pundra mark. Oil lamps and small offerings are placed at its base, and a brass vessel stands at the right. Painted red and blue pillars frame the shrine. Through the gate, a street with parked motorcycles is visible.
