A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicolored flower garlands draped around a deity pair in a golden sanctum. Two seated deity murtis wear jewelled necklaces and crowns, with a golden kalasha-like form in front. A man with long dark hair in a white dhoti stands at the shrine, raising an offering plate toward the deities, while a second person in an orange robe stands to the left holding a small plate and a brass oil lamp stands nearby. Brass lamps, a silver vessel and flower-decked pedestals fill the frame. The white-clad figure appears to fit the page's a person description only through white ritual clothing and long hair, which is insufficient, so his identity is uncertain.
