A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a white and red flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala holds a tall silver trident (trishula) upright while devotees kneel before him. Three people in white shirts and one woman in a dark outfit bring flowers and offerings to a small shrine room. Red rose petals are scattered on the cream wall and yellow cloth draped over a low altar. Behind him, a framed picture shows a figure in saffron-orange robes seated with a garland, and smaller framed deity images sit on the wall shelves. A brass oil lamp burns in the foreground, with a second kneeling figure in orange and green robes at right. Flowers and a brass plate with offerings lie on the floor.
