A photograph of a temple shrine with a stone-pillared open pavilion. Two figures stand before a raised stone platform decorated with flower arrangements. On the left, a man in white dhoti with bare upper body and a yellow sacred thread carries a brass tray. Beside him, a woman in an orange sleeveless blouse and orange wrap holds flowers and stands before the altar. The altar holds gilt metal deity murtis with marigold garlands, brass oil lamps, and red and orange flowers. A standing orange-robed figure is visible behind the altar. A fire burns at the left edge in a stone-walled enclosure, consistent with a ritual flame, and red-and-white painted walls surround the courtyard.
