Rows of seated devotees, many in white clothes, sit on mats on both sides of the aisle behind metal railings. At the shrine a priest in white stands before a deity murti decorated with garlands, with orange curtains framing the sanctum. Colourful woven hangings with orange fringes hang from the rafters, and green mango-leaf garlands are strung across the ceiling beams. Potted plants and banana leaves are in the foreground.
