In front, an elderly sadhu with long dreadlocks and a white wrap offers something from his hands while a young man in an orange shawl stands nearby. Behind them stand gilded deity murtis with crowns and garlands, and a golden umbrella hangs above the throne. The green carpeted floor holds a small brass plate.
