Photo of a temple shrine decorated with garlands in yellow, pink, purple and green. Two standing figures in the central shrine are dressed in vivid colours and gold jewellery, flanked by a golden canopy and tiered floral arrangements. In front, a man in an orange robe stands beside a woman in a brown-orange sari, who offers a lit lamp or ritual item at the altar. Brass vessels, a small oil lamp and flower offerings sit on the stone platform, with carved stone pillars framing the scene. Two figures appear in the sanctum and one more devotee at left, so the scene shows a few people at an abhishekam or puja.
