A photograph of an open-sided grey stone shrine pavilion with a flat white roof and carved pillars, set among trees in daylight. Inside, a seated deity murti pair sits on a raised stone platform, one figure in orange-and-white garments and the other in teal and gold, with a golden halo-shaped backdrop. Red velvet drapes hang on either side of the pavilion. In front, white cloth covers a low table holding a brass kalasha-style vessel, a lamp and small offering items. Two people in the background at right, one in a pink top and one in a white shirt, stand near stacked building blocks and a blue signboard. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple site under construction.
