Empty interior of a temple hall with a grey painted concrete floor and a drop ceiling with fluorescent panels. Dark maroon and black drapes line the walls, with bright multicolour tassel garlands hanging beside them. Several deity murti and decorated display stations stand around the room: a gold ornate throne-like seat with a stand, a standing figure in orange and yellow garments, and a figure with a pink garland on a black pedestal at right. A maroon banner hangs from a pole in the centre, and a small brass pot sits at its base. A white door is visible on the far wall. No people are visible.
