Interior photograph of a temple shrine lit warmly at dusk, with a gilded arched frame around a deity murti. The murti shows a seated male figure with a tall crown and a raised golden staff, beside a female figure in a gold crown, both draped in purple skirts and garlanded with yellow and red flower strands. Orange and red curtains hang at the sides, brass lamps stand in front, and a small oil lamp burns on the altar base. Dark metal railings with green banana-leaf decorations line a central walkway leading toward the shrine, with a few people visible at the left edge.
