Inside the shrine stands a garlanded deity murti draped in flower garlands, with a golden vahana figure and brass ritual implements, including kalasha-style standards, in front. Striped red and white painted borders edge the platform, and colourful decorative hangings and rangoli patterns decorate the courtyard.
