A dark silhouetted figure in the foreground walks toward a golden shrine with a large gilded deity murti of a male figure holding a trident-like weapon and a bow with arrow, alongside a female consort figure in yellow and orange garments. The murti sits within an ornate granite arch flanked by magenta and orange drapes. Two women in white saris kneel at the right and left edges of the shrine area. Stone carvings of seated figures decorate the pillars. The figure in the foreground is a dark shadow with no visible clothing details.
