A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a large deity murti with a cobra hood, wearing an orange cloth wrap, a multi-strand white pearl necklace, green-stone pendant ornaments on the crown, and a red and white flower garland draped down its body. Two standing figures in orange and teal with gold bangles flank the central figure. In front sits a small white and yellow statue of a seated figure with hands raised in blessing and a yellow turban, holding a yellow flower. Brass puja vessels, a small lamp and a ritual bell rest on the floor. Gold-patterned walls and red drapes surround the shrine. The people are statues and figures rather than physical people.
