A temple shrine photographed with no people present. Central focus is a golden tiered pedestal (pogamoorthi-style base) with flower petals and a small round offering, flanked by two gilded standing statues, one of a woman in a rust-brown sari and one of a bare-chested male figure with a dhoti, both with jasmine flowers at their feet. Behind them, dark-skinned deity murtis stand in an arched niche with orange-painted backdrop: a central figure in orange-gold dhoti with a white crown, holding a staff, under a teal umbrella, flanked by figures in pink and green garments. A lit oil lamp, incense sticks, brass bowls and scattered white and orange flowers sit on a wooden tray in front, with a decorated floor.
