Photograph of a shrine set in a dark wooden doorframe, with a deity murti at its centre. The figure has a black face, white crown-like headdress and is dressed in a golden-yellow draped garment, with white and red-and-white garlands hung around the neck and arms. A silver arch framed with floral garlands surrounds the figure. Tall brass lamps with oil wicks flank the shrine on both sides, and a row of smaller brass lamps stands in front. Offerings sit on a red cloth: a plate, a small bell, a bowl and fruit. The floor and lower walls are painted in yellow with orange flowers and white and red dots.
