A photograph inside a covered temple hall with a corrugated roof and white paper lotus-like streamers hanging from the ceiling. A long red carpet leads toward a deity murti draped in red and gold garlands, set in a wooden shrine. Devotees stand along metal railings on both sides: a woman in a white top with a beige shawl presses her palms together, a man in a white shirt and dhoti stands near the centre, and a woman in white with blonde hair stands at the right. Tall decorated pillars with coloured floral patterns frame the hall.
