A crowd of devotees, mostly women with braided hair in white, cream, blue and magenta saris, stand in an open-air shrine facing a raised shrine. On the shrine are a golden-framed deity murti with garlands, an orange-robed figure seated on a white-draped platform garlanded with marigold chains, and a standing figure in gold ornaments and jewelry beside a kalasha-like pedestal. Orange curtains hang at the sides, and carved granite pillars frame the scene with a red railing and trees beyond.
