Interior view of a shrine niche framed by bright red-orange wooden grille doors and a red carved lintel. Inside, a white marble platform holds a small seated figure draped in orange cloth, wearing a crown-like headdress and a rudraksha-style bead mala, with green leaves and a brass bowl placed before it. Ornate red and gold floral carvings surround the arched niche, and a framed picture hangs above. The flooring is grey-and-white marble tile.
