Indoor temple-style hall with a white ceiling and framed photographs on the walls. At the centre a priest in a maroon garment bends over a black Shivalinga on a golden shrine, with a golden arch and red curtains behind. A seated figure on a red-cushioned throne at left wears a red turban and a garland, but the page does not confirm a person's presence, so no identity is asserted. Five or six women and children sit on the floor in red, yellow and green saris, hands folded, before a brass oil lamp and brass pots. A golden pot stands on the right beside a decorated seat.
