Photograph of a shrine interior with a seated figure on an ornate golden throne draped in a rust-orange cloth with gold border, garlanded with a long string of white and red flowers. The seated figure is a deity murti or statue rather than a living person. Beside the throne stands a smaller metal figure in a red garment within a golden arch, with brass oil lamps and a small offering before it. Red curtains hang behind, and carved grey stone pillars frame the right edge. The floor is wet and scattered with petals. No living people are visible.
