A photograph of an open-sided stone shrine pavilion beneath a corrugated metal roof with red steel beams. Terracotta-orange drapes hang between the granite pillars, and a carved panel with a figure and sculpted animals sits above the roof edge. Garlands of marigolds and a bright ornamental cloth decorate the interior, with brass oil lamps standing beside a dark stone structure. Trees and a blue sky are visible at the sides, and an orange-walled building with a small plaque lies to the left. No people are present.
