Devotees stand in a temple room before an ornate gold-painted shrine carved with lions and deity figures, with rows of small murti statues on shelves along the left wall and an orange flag hanging near them. Several women wear saris: one in an orange blouse and red trousers, one in a magenta sari with an orange border, one in a gold-brocade sari with a purple blouse, and one in a white-and-gold sari. A man in a grey sweater and a man in a plaid shirt stand among them, and a young girl in a yellow dress faces the shrine. On the floor at lower left sit a brass lamp, a plate of rose petals and offerings, and a small tray, with green leaves held in several hands.
