A dim covered walkway leads toward a brightly decorated shrine where a deity murti is adorned with garlands and colourful cloth. A red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings. A large black ceremonial umbrella is held over a figure in the centre who wears a dark garment and a long beaded necklace. Devotees line both sides of the walkway, some with hands folded in prayer; one man in an orange robe stands at left. Several people in white and red clothing watch from the sides, and a sign on the left wall is partly visible.
