A photograph of a temple shrine niche with a dark-skinned deity murti seated on a pink-draped throne, holding a trident in one hand and a mala in another, wearing layered silver necklaces, a silver crown and a garland of white jasmine and red flowers. Flanking figures on each side are also statues: a standing deity murti in blue robes with a blue turban on the left and a figure in a red-orange dhoti and shawl on the right, both adorned with garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform, a golden arch frames the niche, and orange and blue festoons hang above. No physical people are visible.
