Interior view of a temple shrine seen down a metal-railed walkway. Inside a gilded arched niche stands a large deity murti with a crown and gold ornaments, flanked by a smaller companion figure, draped in red cloth and garlanded with garlands. In the foreground a single priest in white dhoti with a maroon-bordered cloth walks toward the shrine, facing away from the camera. Red curtains hang at the sides, and a corrugated roof with lamps and wiring overhead. Faint figures appear at the edges of the frame.
