Inside, a golden-framed shrine holds a large deity murti with dark face, crown and ornaments, seated beside a female figure, with a red curtain behind and brass oil lamps and kalasha-style vessels placed on the stone platform in front. A single person in a standing, reverent pose faces the shrine, wearing an orange-red dhoti and shawl, barefoot on a woven mat. Red-and-white painted railings and trees frame the scene.
