A shrine photograph of a golden deity murti with multiple arms seated in an ornate gilded arch. The murti wears an orange dhoti, a jewelled crown with a peacock-style ornament, layered silver and gem necklaces, and carries a trident and other implements. Beside it sits a smaller white marble statue of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and a saffron turban, with rudraksha beads. Pink and yellow flower garlands drape the shrine, a green brocade curtain hangs behind, and a shivalinga-style form with a yellow cloth sits at the base. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
