Interior of a temple shrine with gilded arched frame and green drapery behind a large deity murti of a standing multi-armed figure in orange and teal garments, adorned with garlands, a crown and a trident-like staff. In front, a seated white figure dressed in yellow with a yellow turban, rudraksha-style necklace and flower garland sits on a yellow cloth-covered dais, with brass lamps and a small plate of offerings nearby. Smaller garlanded statues stand to the sides, and a maroon and gold cloth lies on the platform. The photo is a shrine view with no living people visible. The white figure is a statue, so no in-person candidate is identified.
