In the centre, a seated figure on a golden throne wears a white garland and red-and-white necklaces and sits on a raised seat at the right. Behind him, deity murtis stand in the shrine, including a figure with a crown and a sword-like staff and a figure in red and gold. Attendants in saffron-orange robes pull a white cloth across the altar, and oil lamps burn on the platform. In the foreground, about ten devotees sit on the floor with bare or saffron-clad backs, some with white body markings, facing the shrine.

Devotees in white, pastel and colourful saris sit in rows while a figure in orange robes sits centrally before the shrine, surrounded by standing priests in white and offering vessels. Gold-painted deity murtis and carved arches frame the shrine. The central deity murti appears to be a decorated image with a crown, but its exact identity is not clear. A person in orange robes at the centre is seated and performing a ritual; whether this is a specific candidate is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role is given as a seated figure in orange clothing, with no identity claimed.2016-04-24April 24 20192019-04-24Interior-style temple shrine under a corrugated roof with orange curtains, where a red carpet leads toward a white stone shrine holding a large decorated deity murti with a gold crown and garlands. Several men in saffron and orange robes sit or stand near the altar, one bare-chested figure in orange pours or performs an offering, and a seated priest in orange kneels on the carpet. Dozens of seated devotees in white and grey clothes fill the foreground on either side of a railing. The statues are adorned with marigold and flower garlands and gold ornaments.2010-07-21
