A golden ornate shrine altar with arched gold-and-silver canopy topped with an Om symbol. At centre sits a white marble murti of a seated saint in orange-and-gold shawl with rudraksha mala and crown, flanked by two large framed photographs in orange robes, each draped with multicoloured garlands. A small standing deity murti with garland stands at left; two brass oil lamps flank the altar, and a shivalingam and brass vessels sit in front. The framed photograph on the right shows a man in an orange robe with hands folded, but the printed label on the photo is absent and no caption names him; appearance-based identity is unsure.
