A golden lion sculpture stands to the left. On the shrine a framed picture garlanded with white flowers sits beside pink lotus flowers, and a silver plate holds a lit lamp and offerings, with a silver plate of lamps in the foreground. Setting is an indoor temple room with plain walls and tiled platform.
