A photograph inside a temple shrine lit by a flame. In the centre a deity murti with a gold face and crown sits on a throne-like seat, framed by a rainbow-coloured garland arch of green, pink, white and purple flowers, with flanking figures and a golden kalasha-like base. A devotee in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with a long ceremonial garland of red, yellow and white flowers, and a gold-and-bead bracelet, stands with his hands joined in prayer, wearing a maroon turban with a silver medallion. Beside him a younger attendant with long hair and bare torso holds a lit oil lamp toward the murti. Brass lamps, bananas and a bundle of straw sit on the stone plinth. Two people in the scene; the central figure's appearance is ambiguous, so identity remains uncertain.
