A photograph of a decorated temple shrine at dusk. Inside a stone arch, a pair of deity murtis stand on a raised platform, one with an orange turban and garlanded, the other in green and gold garments; a smaller figure sits before them. Yellow and purple flower garlands drape the murtis, and oil lamps and small brass vessels sit on the platform. Above, string lights line the roofline with a painted panel and two white bulls on the parapet. A single person in white clothing kneels or bows in the foreground facing the shrine. Red curtains hang at the sides.
