Night photograph of a decorated palanquin-style shrine with an ornate multicoloured fringed canopy overhead. A large seated murti, dressed in silver-white embellished garments with a red turban and an orange-and-yellow marigold garland, sits in a red and gold arched frame on a green silk-draped base.

Strings of orange flowers hang from the platform, and small red and white lights glow at the side.
