A photograph of a temple shrine inside an ornate gilded arch set against green draped cloth. Central figures are a large seated deity murti in red and white draped dhoti with a trident and drum-like object in hand, and a second standing murti beside it, both adorned with jewelled necklaces and flower garlands in red and yellow. Flanking murtis include one on the left in a red turban and garland and one on the right in a tiger-skin patterned wrap and red cloth with garland. Brass oil lamps stand in front, along with a closed book and a golden kalasha-like offering. All figures are statues, not living people.
