A golden ornate throne (peetha) stands in a shrine niche, flanked by two painted standing deity figures with four arms, orange and red dhotis and green sashes, holding ritual objects. On the throne sits a framed photograph of a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange robe, with a red tilak mark; the portrait is a depiction, not a physical person. Below, a tiger-skin cushion lies on the seat, with garlands and a brass pedestal beneath. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells surround the shrine. The temple walls are painted in grey, yellow, pink and green. No physical people are shown; a small orange-clad figure appears at the far left edge.
