Inside the gilded arches stand three large deity murtis draped in garlands of marigold and white flowers: a central four-armed deity with a crown and a bulky figure to its left with a crown, plus a side figure on the right wearing a red-brown garment. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and red curtains frame the niches. Carved stone pillars with floral and figure reliefs flank the scene. The worshipper is a single person; the deities are statues.2017-09-27A photograph inside a temple shrine.
