A priest in a red-orange dhoti and matching shawl, bare-chested with a yellow sacred thread, offers a plate to the central deity murti, which is draped with garlands and has a silver kalasha-like form in front. A standing figure in a red dhoti and garland attends at left, and a person in dark clothing with red-and-white garlands stands at right. Brass oil lamps stand at both sides of the shrine and a small decorated image sits in the lower right. The setting is a stone temple hall with carved columns.
