A photograph of a stone temple shrine with grey carved pillars and gold-framed arches. At the centre stands a pair of painted deity murtis, one in red and gold holding a trident and the other in green and gold, with a magenta drape behind them. Below, a priest in white dhoti and shawl sits at a low altar raising his hand, with brass oil lamps, kalasha pots, fruit and flower garlands arranged in front. To the right, a woman in an orange-and-gold sari with long dark hair stands facing the shrine with folded hands, apparently at darshan. Two smaller murtis stand in side niches. Puja offerings and garlands fill the shrine.
