At the far end, a gilded arched niche frames a large deity murti with multiple arms and a crown, flanked by smaller figures and flowers, with orange and red drapery and a red-and-white altar. Devotees sit on mats along both sides, many in white, cream and pastel saris, and a few wearing orange and white robes stand near the left edge. A small saffron-robed figure sits near the shrine base. Signage and a red banner hang at the right. Several dozen people are visible.
