A photograph of an ornate temple-style shrine entrance with painted pink, green and orange pillars and a red and gold cornice. Two large painted dvarapala guardian figures stand on either side, each with four arms, gold crowns, gold necklaces and armlets, red dhoti-like garments and green shawls, holding ritual objects. Wooden double doors are open at the centre, revealing a gold-framed alcove. Inside the shrine, a framed portrait shows a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange clothing, labelled as a portrait of a devotee-style figure; a gold lamp stand and brass oil lamps flank the doorway. In the foreground, blurred devotees in orange and saffron clothing, including a woman with long dark hair, stand before the shrine, and a lit candelabra with flames is at right.
