A photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched niche framing a pair of deity murti, a male and a female figure decorated with red and orange garlands, jewelled ornaments and crowns. Before them stands a gold-edged throne or peetha draped with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands, with a small framed portrait of a bearded-free young man in orange robes and rudraksha beads at its base. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and red curtains hang at the sides of the stone pillared pavilion. No people are visible in the scene.
