A small stone shrine open on three sides is decorated for Navaratri, with two deity murtis seated in a gilded arched niche. The figures wear pink and red silk garments, floral garlands in yellow and orange, and are flanked by a white cloth draped over a pedestal. Dark blue velvet curtains are tied to red poles at the corners, and fairy lights are strung along the roof. An iron step ladder stands at the front of the platform, and a yellow-orange bin sits to the right beside potted plants and a white building.
