A photograph of an illuminated Hindu shrine at night, with a dark stone structure framing a group of deity murtis decorated with yellow and white garlands and a gold-accented canopy. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone ledge in front of the shrine, and tall brass lamps line the red-carpeted floor on both sides.

Strings of multicoloured lights and hanging lamps decorate the open pavilion, and a maroon cloth drapes beside the structure.
