A photograph of a temple shrine set into a stone pavilion, decorated with orange and white flower garlands on the pillars. Inside are several deity murti figures, including a pair of richly dressed figures wearing red and gold crowns and heavy garlands of yellow and purple flowers, with a blue-dressed figure seated in front. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha, ritual vessels and plates of flower offerings sit on the stone platform. On the right, a woman in an orange sari stands with folded hands beside lamp stands, and a man in white is partly visible at the edge. A peacock-feather fan and red drapery frame the back of the shrine. Stone carvings of a Ganesha figure appear at lower left.
