Interior shrine photograph showing a wicker tray in the foreground holding five clay oil lamps lit with yellow wicks and flames. Behind them, a gilded recumbent bull (Nandi) sits on a stone platform beside a potted plant. In the background, a bronze deity murti adorned with white flower garlands stands within an ornate arched frame, with a second garlanded stone or bronze figure in a similar arch to the right. A dark red wall and a wooden post frame the scene. No people are visible; only a partial orange-clad arm appears at the lower right edge.
