A photograph of a temple shrine in which a priest with bare upper body and orange-red dhoti, with white sacred markings on his back, stands at left performing worship with a lamp before three deity murtis. The central murti wears a tall striped crown, layered silver necklaces and red garments, and is backed by a silver-striped arch. Flanking murtis wear maroon and green-black robes with ornate necklaces and pink flower garlands. Brass oil lamps, a brass plate and a yellow-green cloth-covered table sit in front, and a canopy of colourful fabric with tassels and printed elephants hangs above. No devotee is visible; the only person is the priest.
