Before the murti sits a smaller figure in white and orange with a gold-belted waist, also garlanded.

A figure in an orange-saffron robe and wrap, with long hair, bows forward with hands together before the shrine on a stone platform, with a patterned mat at their feet. Brass lamps and a pink curtain frame the scene, with an open-sided pavilion setting.

In the foreground at right, a single person with a shaved or tied head wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl and a rudraksha mala, facing the deity with hands raised in prayer as in puja or darshan.

The shrine holds a large deity murti pair with a figure wearing a red crown and holding a trident and a standing female figure in pink-and-red garments, both draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Below them is a small blue deity figure, and brass oil lamps, a kalasha and small offering vessels sit on the stone platform. Grey carved stone pillars frame the shrine, with a red-and-white striped wall behind it and green trees beyond. A person in saffron clothing is seen from behind, so the figure is a devotee or sannyasi and no identification is made.2010-09-15
