A photograph of a temple shrine with a central dark-faced deity murti in a gold-bordered arched niche against an orange backdrop. The central figure wears an orange dhoti, a white and gold crown, a garland of yellow and white flowers, and holds a trident. Two dark deity figures flank him, each in pink-magenta garments and crowns with garlands. In front, two copper-coloured statues stand on a platform: one bare-chested figure with a raised hand, and one in an orange-red shawl. Between them is a tiered copper pyramid-shaped sacred structure decorated with marigolds, and a lit oil lamp glows at the front of the platform beside scattered marigold petals. No living people are visible.
