A photograph inside a temple shrine. A gilded arched frame surrounds a red-draped niche holding a pair of seated deity murtis, one wearing a crown and the other a tall crown, with a white-and-gold ornamented base. Marigold garlands hang across the figures, and brass oil lamps stand on both sides. Potted flowers and greenery decorate the platform. In the foreground, a person in orange robes bends forward in prostration or respectful bowing on an orange cloth mat, facing the shrine. Orange curtains frame the scene, and a striped rug lies at the bottom edge.
