A photograph inside a stone temple shrine, decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. Two gilded metal-faced deity murti stand in the centre; the right figure wears a yellow silk garment, a tall jewelled crown and a crescent ornament, while the left figure wears a red-brown cloth and a crescent. A brass trident and a gold-trimmed ornament hang in front. At left, a standing man in a dark garment and a red-brown turban holds a lit oil lamp and a golden staff, performing aarti. The scene reads as a temple puja.
