A photograph inside a temple shrine. In the foreground a person with long dark hair, seen from behind, wears a saffron-orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, standing barefoot on a striped mat with hands joined in prayer. Before them is a gilded arched shrine holding two large deity murtis: a figure with an orange turban and rich necklaces, and a female figure in blue garments, both draped with red, yellow and orange flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and a golden kalasha-like vessel sits at the centre of the altar. Beside the shrine stands an orange upholstered chair with a red embroidered cushion, and a small red-clad figure sits on the altar. The setting includes carved grey stone pillars.
