Photograph of a temple shrine decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds with red and purple flowers. Behind the flowers stands a gilded deity murti with a red and gold turban and ornate necklaces, seated beside a second gilded figure. In front, a small blue-and-white figure is adorned with flower garlands, and a silver kalasha-like pot, fruit offerings, brass vessels and a plate of white offerings are arranged on the altar. On the left, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl, a sacred thread visible, raises his arm toward the shrine. A second person in an orange garment stands at the left edge, and a gold-rimmed ceremonial fan or canopy stands in the foreground. Strings of small bulbs hang from the ceiling of the stone pavilion.
