A photograph taken from behind a single figure walking down a narrow red-carpeted aisle flanked by tall metal railings toward a golden-framed shrine. The walking figure wears a dark maroon or rust-coloured garment and is silhouetted against the light. At the end of the aisle stands a large deity murti of a standing four-armed figure with a crown and a trident-like staff, wearing orange and gold dress, garlands of white and pink flowers, and a teal-green draped backdrop. A second figure stands beside it. Brass lamps and gold-coloured altar vessels sit on the stone plinth below, with carved stone pillars framing the shrine.
