A dim, covered walkway inside a temple hall leads toward a lit shrine at the far end. Within an ornate golden arch with a red backdrop sits a richly decorated deity murti with multiple figures, adorned with garlands and bright garments in purple and gold tones. A small oil lamp burns in front of the shrine. Green banana leaves and foliage hang along the metal railings, and tall pillars wrapped in blue, white and yellow patterned cloth with orange drapes frame the path.
