A golden seated figure, a deity murti or statue, is decorated in a shrine interior. It wears a large gold necklace, a white head cloth, and a red and gold silk garment, and is draped with long garlands of yellow, red, and green flowers. Its right hand is raised in abhaya mudra. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and lean in to touch the garlands and the statue, while a person in orange robes sits at left holding a metal crutch. A small lamp is mounted on the wall above the shrine.
