A woman in a lime-green and blue sari with a chevron border stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra before a deity murti seated on a gold-framed throne. The black stone murti wears a white and gold crown, a red and white floral garland, a multi-strand necklace and a yellow and green silk drape. Two framed photographs hang on the right wall: one shows an elderly woman in a red sari with a raised hand, the other a bald-headed elderly man in saffron robes holding a staff and raising a hand. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a brass lamp and flower-decorated offering tray with fruit, kumkum and vibhuti sit on the floor, as in a puja.
