A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, rudraksha-style beads and gold ceremonial necklaces, sits on a gilded throne with a red cushion and presses his palms together in greeting. Facing him, a bare-backed man in a white dhoti with a white shoulder cloth and pink head covering stands with folded hands. Behind them stand gilded deity murtis adorned with garlands, including a figure with a raised hand and a trident-like staff, and attendants with flower garlands. A brass kalasha-like lamp stand and oil lamps sit on the altar at right, with a fan and electronic equipment at the lower left. Strings of small lights hang on the temple pillars.
