Photograph of a shrine niche with gilded arches and orange-red drapery holding several statues. Two central deity statues stand in the arch, one with a dark crown and jewelled necklaces holding a raised hand, the other in a red and gold garment with a flower garland. Flanking statues in arched niches wear garlands and dark ornaments. In front, a white-clad figure in a padapuja-style posture is lying prostrate with marigold and red flower garlands draped over the back, before a kalasha-like fan of tassels. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides and gilded thrones with flower garlands sit at the base. Statues are shown rather than living people.
