The front figure, in orange robes with a red border, holds a tray of white prasadam packets or papers. Behind them, a shrine with a gold arch frames a deity murti of a couple. Men in white dhotis and women in saris, one in green, press along the railings, several with palms together in greeting. Overhead, ceiling fans hang beneath a corrugated roof.
