Inside the shrine stands a life-size figure of a standing deity murti with a saffron-orange turban, adorned with a multicoloured jewelled necklace and a golden body ornament, the hands raised in blessing. The niche is decorated with red and white flower garlands and green leafy foliage, with a red cloth backdrop.
