A small golden deity murti with hands folded in namaskar stands at the centre of a shrine niche, framed by a dense arch of marigold and rose garlands in red, yellow, white and purple. A silver makara-style head crowns the arch, and a gold-coloured cloth drapes the murti's base. Tall yellow-orange temple pillars with blue bases flank the shrine in the stone temple interior.
