A photograph of a shrine in a temple setting. In the foreground, a small brass deity murti with a dark braided hairstyle and a silver tiara-like ornament is seated on a green and gold brocade cloth. It wears a teal-blue silk sari with a magenta and gold border, a turquoise bead necklace and a large gold pendant, and holds a small brass vessel in one raised hand. Behind it, a larger statue wrapped in blue and gold brocade silk is decorated with a white and orange flower garland. Two tall brass oil lamps with peacock-shaped tops stand on either side against a deep red velvet backdrop, and the dark stone pedestal is set on a polished black floor. No physical people are visible.
