Inside a white marble temple hall, a bearded man with long dark hair in an orange shawl and rust-coloured robe sits cross-legged on a blue-patterned cushion with palms pressed together in prayer. Beside him sit several monks in saffron and maroon robes, one wearing a rudraksha mala and orange garland, all with hands folded. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt raises one hand while facing them. Behind them an ornate golden arch frames a deity murti decorated with flowers, and a brass railing and a trident stand at the left wall. Walls behind are covered with engraved text.
