A man in saffron-orange robes stands with his back partly to the camera, facing a stone shrine. Inside the arched, gold-trimmed shrine are carved and painted deity murtis, one with a crown and multiple arms holding weapons, draped in pink fabric and garlanded with marigold and purple flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the granite platform, with small brass vessels and offerings in front. Red and orange curtains hang beside the shrine under an open-air temple pavilion with striped red-and-white walls. The scene suggests puja or darshan at a temple shrine.

Red and white curtains hang at the sides of the open pavilion, and palm trees are visible beyond.

The shrine holds a large deity murti pair with a figure wearing a red crown and holding a trident and a standing female figure in pink-and-red garments, both draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Below them is a small blue deity figure, and brass oil lamps, a kalasha and small offering vessels sit on the stone platform. Grey carved stone pillars frame the shrine, with a red-and-white striped wall behind it and green trees beyond. A person in saffron clothing is seen from behind, so the figure is a devotee or sannyasi and no identification is made.2010-09-15November 18 20102010-11-18 +2 copiesOctober 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesA photograph inside a stone temple shrine showing a deity murti of a seated goddess with a trident, dressed in a yellow and green sari with a pink skirt, adorned with yellow and red-and-white garlands.
