Indoor shrine in a plain room with tan cinder-block walls and a white floor. A golden statue of a seated figure in a maroon turban and green-and-maroon robe, wearing a multi-strand jewelled necklace and a flower garland, sits on a black-tiled plinth; the statue is a statue, not a person. Beside it stands a pair of painted deity murtis: a blue-skinned figure with a flute and a crown, and a figure in a purple-and-pink sari with a halo-like crown. A silver ornate shrine cabinet with carved doors sits in front, and a small blue deity murti is at the right edge. On the floor, a gold-embroidered cloth holds brass puja plates with lamps, kumkum, a banana, a bowl of rice and a green leaf, plus brass bowls and a small lamp. No people are visible.
