Before him sit two dark stone deity murtis under golden arched niches, draped in red and teal silk with gold borders, garlanded with white and orange flowers and gold jewellery. A small pink-clad figure sits at the base, and a golden cloth hangs over the central deity. The floor is dark speckled tile.
