A photograph of a temple shrine lit warmly against a dark hall. At the centre, a golden arched niche framed by red drapery holds a deity murti of a seated couple, the male figure with a crown and trident and the female figure with a crown, both draped in blue and adorned with white garlands and necklaces. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine. In the foreground on a green ornate stand sits a framed printed portrait of a man in saffron robes seated in meditation, wearing a rudraksha mala; the portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. No physical people are visible in the scene.
