A golden Hanuman murti sits at the centre of a temple shrine, draped in a green and orange sash and a long garland of red and white flowers. Behind him on a blue and gold throne are figures of a crowned deity with a bow and two attendants, one holding a dagger and one wearing a white and red garland. Red velvet drapes frame the shrine, and a brass oil lamp stands at right beside a red and gold placard. The scene is a shrine display with no physical people visible.
