A photograph of a temple shrine with a large standing deity murti at centre, dark-skinned with long black hair, wearing a white flower garland and holding a trident, set within a golden circular arch in front of a gold throne-like seat. Flanking it are two large painted guardian figures with raised arms and weapons, one red and one green, beneath ornate pink and green architectural arches. Brass lamp stands and a flower-covered base sit in front, with cushions and a rug on the floor. The statue has no clear sign of being a person, so no identification is made.
