A photograph of a decorated shrine at the front of a room. In the centre stands a small gilt metal murti of a standing deity with an ornate jeweled crown and a white-and-gold garment, set on a pedestal and framed by a dark blue cloth draped behind it with an orange pom-pom border. Red, yellow and pink flower garlands and a gold brocade cloth surround the murti on a tiered stand. To the right, two gilded and jeweled figures in green and gold garments stand in a golden alcove. On the left, a framed printed portrait shows a smiling man in a red turban, saffron-toned robes and a beaded garland; the portrait is printed, not a physical person, and its caption is not legible. No physical people are visible.
