Inside a temple shrine, a silver-framed deity murti with a painted face is adorned with white and orange flower garlands and green leaves, with a silver pillar and ornate arch behind. In the foreground, a man in a red-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a leopard-print lower garment stands with a red tilak on his forehead, holding an orange cloth and tending the shrine. Beside him, a bald man in orange wears glasses, and a man in a green checked shirt stands nearby. A small red donation box sits at the lower left below the railing, and a brass lamp with a lit flame is on the left edge.
