A photograph inside a stone shrine at an ashram temple. A person seen from behind, in an orange sleeveless top with dark hair, sits facing a deity murti with garlands of yellow and red flowers. The central deity figures wear orange-red turbans and ornate gold-and-red attire, and a brass lamp stand and bell-metal lamps stand before them on a stone platform with small offering plates. Orange curtains hang at the sides, and a red railing and green trees appear beyond the pillars.
