A temple shrine photograph with a gilded arch framing a large deity murti in red and orange garments, holding a trident-like staff and a raised hand, adorned with a gold crown and multicolour marigold garlands. Below, a white-draped altar holds a seated white statue wearing a green-and-saffron turban, green robe, beaded necklace and gold waistband, with a marigold garland draped across the figure. Red satin hangings, carved stone pillars and a small green seated figure in a side niche complete the scene. This is a statue, so no physical people are present.
