Inside a temple-style hall, a man with short hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger skin, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha mala. Beside him a gold umbrella hangs above and small oil lamps dangle on chains. In front, to the left, two women in orange saris with rudraksha malas sit on a mat before a low table with puja items and oil lamps. A tall painted deity murti with four arms stands in the pink and green painted pillared niche to the left, and a red velvet canopy covers the top. One woman in orange sits near the throne base and another in orange sits at the right. The floor is polished cream.
