A large multi-storey temple facade painted in red, orange, cream and blue with arched windows and decorative balconies. Two large framed images are mounted on the front: a painted image in the upper arch of a seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a staff-like object, and below it a large printed portrait of an elderly bearded man with long white-grey hair and beard wearing an orange robe, draped with green leaves and flower garlands. These are portraits and painted depictions, not physical people, and no physical people are visible.
