Inside a white-pillared temple hall with carved columns, a group of devotees stands before a shrine. A woman in a red sari with a braid and a girl in pink move through the scene near a white brick-edged fire pit. Two dark stone deity murti stand in green and red cloth, and a wooden seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth is garlanded with flowers at right. Men in white shirts, a striped shirt and a grey jacket face the inner sanctum, where a lamp glows. A red and cream patterned rug covers the polished floor. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance.
