A photograph of an open stone shrine pavilion with carved pillars and a flat roof, housing a deity murti pair seated on a pedestal, with a gilded lamp or kalasha-like object and a small offering arrangement in front. Red cloths drape from the upper sides of the shrine. Trees and a low wall surround the courtyard. In the foreground at left, a man in white clothing with an orange shawl stands with his back partly turned. Two small figures stand at the right edge near a blue signboard. The shrine appears to be in use for worship, and it is a photo of a shrine rather than a person-centred event.
