The shrine base is decorated with painted floral bands in red, yellow and blue.2011-08-28January 17 20182018-01-17October 31 20062006-10-31A painted sculpture in a shrine niche, showing a seated deity murti with a raised hand holding a small object and a consort seated beside him in an orange and yellow sari with jewelry.
