A photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched niche framing two seated deity murtis dressed in purple and green cloth, adorned with garlands, rudraksha-style beads and a tall crown-like headdress. Beside them stands a smaller figure in a green-curtained alcove, also garlanded. In front, a priest in white ritual clothes, bare-chested with a sacred thread, sits at a puja table tending offerings with brass lamps and bowls. On the right, a devotee in an orange-and-gold sari bends low in prostration toward the shrine. Grey stone carvings decorate the pillars, and a red-and-white striped drape hangs at the edge.
