At the centre, a deity murti is dressed in a white and gold cloth and heavily garlanded with white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flowers, with a golden crown. In front, a long table with a saffron cloth holds fruit, brass vessels, bananas, a kalasha and offering plates. Devotees in white clothes and yellow or red garments sit with hands folded in prayer. A woman in a saffron robe stands at the right. A man in a yellow shawl kneels beside the table, and a red sign-board and yellow-banded timings sign appear at the top. A crowd of around twenty-five people is visible.
