A night-time photograph of a temple shrine niche with a central deity murti seated on a golden throne, holding a trident and other implements, wearing a blue and teal necklace, a golden crown and a tall decorated headdress. Two standing attendant figures flank it in green and yellow garments with flower garlands. A red cloth backdrop hangs behind, with a gold-toned arch frame and a gold-brown curtain to the right. A brass oil lamp stands at each side, and a shivalinga-like object sits before the throne decorated with marigold and purple garlands. No living people are visible; the figures are statues.
