Two painted deity murti flank the doorway, each with multiple arms, gold crowns, gold necklaces and orange-red dhotis with green shawls, holding ritual objects. Brass oil lamps stand on either side. Four people in orange-red robes sit on the floor before the throne, one with long dark hair facing away, in a devotional setting.
