Outdoor shrine courtyard with three golden arched niches holding black stone deity murtis garlanded with orange and red flower garlands. The central murti wears an orange cloth and gold crown and holds a trident; the side murtis display orange-yellow and white draped garments. In front, a standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair, stands on a woven mat beside a plaque and a small pink-garlanded figure. Red and white striped bases, potted plants and trees surround the shrine. The man appears to be a sannyasi-style devotee; appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
