A decorated temple shrine at an outdoor camp, with three deity murtis in a row on a red-draped dais. The central figure is a seated goddess in pink and gold with raised arms, flanked by a seated figure on a bull-like mount and another figure on a peacock-like mount. Brass oil lamps (deepams) stand before each figure, with a brass kalasha-style vessel and decorated shields on either side. Multicoloured tassel garlands hang from the arches, and purple light washes over the ornate gold and cream sculpted backdrop. No people are visible in the scene.
