Photograph of a temple shrine interior with a large central deity murti seated on a throne, draped in red and orange cloth, garlanded with red and white flower necklaces, with a kalasha-style offering before it. Flanking shrines hold smaller deity murtis in gold arched niches with green, yellow and pink cloth and garlands. Three men in ritual dress are seen from behind walking toward the shrine: one in white upper cloth, one in maroon dhoti, one in saffron-orange dhoti with a sacred thread. Red curtains and a metal railing frame the scene.
