A man with long dark hair and a red vibhuti mark on his forehead stands centrally in a golden-arched shrine doorway, holding a wooden staff in his right hand and a trident-topped staff leaning beside him. He wears a rust-brown kurta with a matching sash and loose trousers, with a beaded necklace at his neck. Flanking him are gilded lion-pillar arches, brass oil lamps, a brass trident and a seated golden lion. Strings of beads and small bells hang in the dark recess behind him, and ornate pastel painted deity figures frame the stage.
