A photograph inside a marble-lined shrine room showing a white marble murti of a multi-armed goddess seated on a lion, draped in orange and gold cloth with a gold-embroidered backdrop above her. Two devotees stand in front of the shrine: on the left, a person with hair tied up in a knot wears a maroon-red garment with gold borders and holds hands together in prayer; on the right, a bearded man with long hair wears an orange robe and stands with hands clasped, facing the deity. A red cloth covers the altar base with small lamps and flower garlands in red and orange. Carved wooden doors frame the scene. The person on the right with long hair, beard and orange robe shows distinctive appearance cues, so this is a probable Swamiji presence; he is physically present in the scene.
