Night photograph of a temple shrine decorated for a festival. Two deity murtis stand in an arched niche framed by a gold arch and blue draped curtains, adorned with flower garlands in purple, pink and white; the figure on the left wears a red crown and green-pink skirt and holds a staff. Before the shrine, a white-clad altar holds a small image and brass oil lamps stand on either side. Three people in saffron and orange robes stand in the foreground: one at left faces the shrine, a central man in orange holds a small book and reads, and a woman in an orange sari with red border holds a small plate. A metal pot with a yellow cloth sits in front. String lights hang on the right, and a blue sign with white text is visible on the altar.
