A photograph of a festival shrine with gilded arched backdrop and draped gold-and-orange cloth. Three deity murtis sit on a golden throne-like seat: a central standing figure wearing a tall crown, blue-and-white ornaments and a white flower garland, flanked by two smaller figures with crowns and white garlands. A golden bull figure and a red-and-purple decorated vahana stand at the left. In the foreground, a person with long dark braided hair wearing a pink flower garland and bare upper back raises hands in worship, facing the shrine, with several onlookers' heads visible at the bottom edge.
