A dark stone murti of a deity, adorned with white and gold garlands and a floral garland, sits in a shrine niche on the left. In the foreground, a man seen from behind, with long dreadlocked hair and a multicoloured flower garland over his shoulders, wears a rust-brown cloth and stands before the shrine. Red-and-white patterned mats, potted plants and a small yellow box lie on the tiled ground. Several other people in white and yellow clothing stand near the gate in the background.
