Photo of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing a painted deity image of a crowned figure holding a trident beside a consort, both garlanded with yellow, pink and purple flower strings, in front of a red curtain. In the foreground a golden standing statue of a bare-chested man in white dhoti raises one hand in blessing. Behind the statue, a seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits before a white draped altar with a silver bell, lamps and flower offerings. The image is a shrine scene with no physical people in the foreground beyond the statue and the seated figure.
