A priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands at the left edge of a shrine doorway, holding flowers and facing three deity murtis. The central murti is adorned with a tall crown, red and gold garlands and a white dhoti, flanked by two smaller deity murtis, one in red and one in green garments, all draped with flower garlands. Ornate gold-and-yellow painted arch borders frame the doorway and a small shivalinga with flower offerings sits at the base in front of the shrine.
