In the centre, a seated figure on a golden throne wears a white garland and red-and-white necklaces and sits on a raised seat at the right. Behind him, deity murtis stand in the shrine, including a figure with a crown and a sword-like staff and a figure in red and gold. Attendants in saffron-orange robes pull a white cloth across the altar, and oil lamps burn on the platform. In the foreground, about ten devotees sit on the floor with bare or saffron-clad backs, some with white body markings, facing the shrine. A dark-skinned deity murti in white robes with a garland stands to the left, flanked by golden figures, with a red-turbaned statue beside it.2019-05-18January 12 20172017-01-12A photograph inside a golden-pillared temple hall decorated with colourful hanging cloth tassels and framed portraits on the walls.
