A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti dressed in a yellow and pink silk garment, its ornate gold and silver arms raised behind a tall, gold-framed alcove. In front stands a golden peetha with a cylindrical silver-and-gold kalasha-like object wrapped in garlands of yellow, orange, red and white flowers. A white marble statue seated in lotus-like meditative posture is dressed in a green robe with a red-and-gold shawl and a green-and-orange headwrap, adorned with a garland of red and yellow flowers. Tall brass oil lamps (deepas) with lit flames flank the scene, and smaller brass vessels and an offering plate sit on the floor. A small green-clad figure, possibly a deity statue, stands at the right edge. No living people are visible.
