Inside a temple shrine with marble-patterned walls, several people in orange and white ritual clothing stand before a dark deity murti draped in a red and gold cloth, with a raised ceremonial staff in front. A woman in an orange sari with gold garlands and bangles stands at left, while a shaved-headed man in orange wrap and gold necklace and another in white dhoti tend the shrine. Pink flowers lie on the ledges, and a row of small dark murtis in white-and-red cloth sits in a niche at right, with a plate of offerings nearby.
