A temple shrine interior with a gilded arched niche draped in red cloth, holding a pair of large deity murtis adorned with garlands of orange and yellow marigolds. A seated priest in saffron clothing kneels at the lower left beside a tray of offerings, while two standing men face the shrine: an older man with a white beard in white clothes and a yellow shawl with red lettering, and a long-haired man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala who has his hands joined in prayer. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and a small red-clad figure is set at the base of the shrine.
