Devotees sit seated on the floor in rows under an open-sided pavilion at dusk, facing a shrine. At the centre, a deity murti is seated on a throne, adorned with marigold garlands, with a gold arched prabhavali behind it. A priest in white sits before the shrine performing puja beside offerings and lamps. Striped red-and-white cloth hangs on the side walls, and decorative banners with bird motifs hang at the right. Most seated people wear white, and one woman at the lower right wears an orange top. There is no clearly visible person matching the a person candidate criteria, so the a person field is none.
