A photo inside a temple shrine room with unfinished grey block walls. At centre a golden statue of a seated figure in a dark red turban and red-and-gold garment sits on a yellow seat between two golden lion-headed armrests. The statue wears a multi-strand garland of pink and white flowers and is draped with a heavy green garland of small lime-like fruits. Before it stands a brass oil lamp hung with white flower garlands, a red cloth-covered table, a brass plate of bananas, and brass trays with offerings. On the right a shirtless man in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold waistband and a face mask points toward the statue while standing beside a golden deity figure. On the left a woman in a cream blouse and beige sari with gold trim stands with her hands folded, facing the statue.
