A photograph of a shrine inside a temple at night, with a gilded arched niche framing a group of deity murtis. Two standing figures in purple and blue garments with crowns flank a central figure in a red and orange turban and bright red garland; the central figure sits on a white draped platform with a blue-clad small figure below. Garlands of yellow and red flowers hang across the figures, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. Golden curtains and red drapes surround the shrine. The figures are statues, not people.
