Interior of a bright hall with a polished marble floor and large windows. Two men walk across the floor: on the left a man in white dhoti with a maroon border and a gold necklace carries a small brass vessel or plate; beside him a man in a saffron-orange robe, bare-chested, walks barefoot. Behind them, glass-fronted wooden enclosures hold deity murtis: a central gold-bordered shrine with a deity figure and garlands, and at right a gold peacock-shaped vahana seat with a deity figure draped in colourful garlands. A tall decorative banner hangs at upper left.
