Interior-entrance view of a stone temple doorway with carved sandstone pillars on the left and a painted panel of deities on the wall. A group of about eight people walks through: a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a matching head wrap stands near the entrance, with other saffron-robed attendants and a man in white dhoti and shirt. A woman in a red sari with flowers stands among them, and a uniformed man in khaki stands nearby. Two men in white shirts and trousers stand to the right, and a man in a green shirt is at the edge. Inside the doorway a dark sanctum holds a deity murti and a kalasha-like object. Plaques with text hang on the walls.
