A photograph of a temple sanctum with a large deity murti dressed in an ornate maroon velvet robe covered with layered gold and jewelled necklaces, a tall gold-and-green crown, and red and yellow flower garlands draped over the shoulders. Beside it stands a white marble statue of a figure with hands in anjali mudra, wearing a cream dhoti-style cloth, a cream headcloth with a red tilak, and a gold rudraksha-style mala. Gold and bronze carved pillars with lion motifs frame the background, and a brass vessel rests in the lower right. The people count is zero because only statues and the murti are visible.
