A man with long, dark, swept-back hair sits on a red step outside a small temple doorway, smiling and raising his right hand in greeting. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a rudraksha-style mala at his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a tall silver trident upright. Behind him, red metal gates are open to a dark inner shrine with a framed deity image and garlands. A marble-white deity murti sits in a red-framed niche on the left wall, and a plaque is mounted on the pillar. Turquoise painted ceiling and red-and-white pillars frame the scene.
