A temple shrine interior lit with green light. In the foreground, a man seen from behind wears an orange-saffron turban, orange wrap and a rudraksha-style rope around his neck, with long dark hair falling down his back, and stands facing the shrine. Before the shrine sits an ornate gold-rimmed throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth, flanked by red and orange bunches of cloth and fruit offerings. Behind the throne, a deity murti with a crown, trident and green complexion, adorned with gold jewellery and garlands, is set in a decorated arch of mirror work and sits beside a second figure in green. Tall tiered tassel decorations in red, orange, green, purple and white frame the shrine, and brass lamps stand at left.2016-04-24A photograph inside a temple shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and yellow marigold strings. Three figures stand in the foreground facing a golden deity murti and gilded altar. The central figure has long dark hair, a rust-red turban, a red-orange cloth draped over the shoulders, a gold armlet and a white and red garland. He is shown from behind with long dark hair and a rust-red turban. A bare-chested priest in an orange-red cloth stands to the right, and a partially visible person is at the far right edge.
