A temple hall with a central golden throne framed by garlands, where a seated figure in a green garment with a white head wrap and a red flower garland sits with hands raised in a gesture. Two large painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with four arms and crowns stand on either side of the doorway, each draped in a multicolour garland. Hanging brass lamps and a golden canopy hang above the throne. On the floor in front, several women in saffron and red saris sit with palms pressed together before a microphone, and two older men in white kurtas sit in prayer near the lower right. A small oil lamp burns on the floor before the throne, and the walls are painted in blue, orange and green with decorative pillars.
