A grey stone sculpture of a multi-armed deity, standing within a circular halo of carved flames, sits on a tiered block plinth in front of an orange-walled gatehouse with a red roof edge. A uniformed guard in a blue shirt and dark trousers sits on a white plastic chair beside a red-barred window.

A standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a white-and-brown cylindrical head wrap faces a dark grey stone sculpture of a multi-armed deity inside a circular arch, holding a lit oil lamp toward the murti. A plastic chair, a small table with items, and a bucket sit nearby; the ground is bare dirt.
