Strings of small lights hang along the facade and a rectangular printed banner is fixed above the entrance. In the foreground, seated men in white shirts and dhotis sit on red plastic chairs facing the temple. At left a musician with a wind instrument stands beside colourful decorated umbrella-like canopies. Several standing men in white and a woman in a red sari move near the entrance, and on the right a figure in orange robes sits on a red chair near a blue cloth draped on poles.
