A decorated shrine space under a tent with banana leaves and marigold garlands. Centre, a seated figure in a golden-yellow cloth on an ornate gilt throne with a crown is garlanded in white and orange-red flowers; it appears to be a murti or statue rather than a living person. Flanking it are smaller gilt-framed thrones, a black stone sculpture of a standing figure in white dhoti and garland on the right, and a seated stone figure with a hooded cobra canopy on the left. Brass oil lamps stand on silver trays, yellow marigold strings hang overhead, and a striped mat lies on the red floor. No living people are visible.
