A photograph at dusk of a shrine with a stone canopy, draped in orange and red cloth and decorated with green fronds and flower garlands. Inside, a deity murti pair seated together is adorned with marigold garlands and a golden arch behind them. In front, a table covered in red and orange cloth holds stacks of books, framed portraits and brass oil lamps, with red petals scattered. On the left, a man in orange robes and a shawl with a long dark swept-back hairstyle extends his right arm toward the shrine, while another man in an orange cloth stands at the left edge holding a tray and wearing a garland. The man in orange appears to be a person by his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, though the identification is uncertain.
