A photograph inside a stone temple shrine. In the foreground, a person with bare back and shoulders, wearing an orange cloth wrapped as a dhoti with dark maroon borders, stands with hands folded in prayer facing the altar. Behind them, a golden-framed arch with red satin draping houses a large pair of gilded deity murti, one wearing a crown with a trident in hand and both adorned with yellow and purple marigold garlands. Before the murti sits a seated figure in orange robes on a white-draped seat. Brass lamps, a kalasha, a tray of flowers and small vessels rest on the stone platform. A small gilded shrine with a green figure sits at the right edge.
