A photograph of an open-sided temple shrine under a corrugated roof, with orange cloth curtains hung on red pillars. Inside, a dark stone deity murti of a goddess with a crown is garlanded with marigold and rose garlands, flanked by golden lamp stands. Below it sits a small framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure on a red-cushioned seat. Around the lower shrine, about seven people sit cross-legged on orange and red mats: one man in a white dhoti, several women in saris, and others wearing white or orange clothes, with a laptop and brass trays of offerings in front of them. Red-and-white striped walls and green trees frame the scene.
