A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with dense garlands of yellow, orange, red and white flowers forming an arch. Golden metal deity murtis stand behind a central figure: one with a crown and ornate jewellery, another with a fanned headdress, and a figure on the left in a maroon dress with pearl-like embellishments. In front, a bearded man in a maroon-brown robe and matching turban smiles and raises one hand in greeting, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala with a pendant and a floral garland with pink and white blooms. Flower garlands drape the shrine base and brass lamps sit at the front. The scene looks like a Hindu temple festival or darshan.
