A long-haired man in an orange-brown dhoti with a gold border and an orange shawl stands with palms pressed together before a golden shrine canopy decorated with flower garlands. Two marble-like deity murtis, one in white with an orange garland, stand on a green and red draped platform. A shaven-headed priest in orange robes, holding a bell, bends toward a fire lamp and brass plates of fruit and flowers. Other seated devotees in white clothes join their hands at the side. Behind the altar, the walls are painted with pink, orange and green temple-style patterns, and a painted figure with a crown and moustache appears at left.
