Interior of a pink-walled Hindu shrine decorated with marigold garlands hanging from the ceiling and a bell suspended from a chain. A man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala wears an orange robe and stands at the right with his hands folded at his chest, a person by appearance, though the face is not discernible for identification. Near the doorway, a line of devotees in orange and white clothes, including a woman in orange and a man in a white kurta, move toward the inner sanctum. A pink and gold silk-wrapped pillar stands at the left, and in the foreground a brass puja tray with oil lamp, kalasha, flowers and a small stone murti sits on a low table beside a striped mat.
