A temple shrine with golden arched framing and a magenta backdrop holds painted statues rather than living people. Centre, a seated deity murti in an orange turban and red-brown beaded garlands raises a hand in blessing and holds a small staff. Beside it, a female-form statue wears an orange sari with green border, a jewelled necklace and a red flower garland, with a raised hand. In front, a golden-hued seated figure with a green-and-gold drape and a white flower on its head sits behind a grooved kalasha-like object festooned with white and red flower garlands and rudraksha malas. At left stands a standing attendant statue in an orange turban, tiger-striped waist cloth and white garland, with one hand raised. A brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. No living people are visible.
