A photograph inside a temple shrine shows a person seen from behind, standing barefoot on a small woven mat and offering prayer with palms pressed together at chest level. The person wears a saffron-orange draped garment with long curling grey-black hair falling down the back, and has a garland of pink and white flowers hanging before them. In front is a gilded deity murti of Krishna with a peacock-feather crown and garland, beside a figure in blue and pink, with peacock-feather decorations behind. A carved stone sculpture stands at the right edge and a small figure sits to the left on a red cloth. The scene is brightly washed out.
