A photograph of a temple shrine with a granite archway and gold-framed doorways. Inside, two large deity murtis stand behind a central figure of a deity whose face is covered by a golden helmet-like crown, draped in multicoloured garlands of red, yellow, green and white flowers. A priest in orange robes sits in the foreground pouring from a small vessel as part of an abhishekam, while another priest in a red cloth sits to the right with a bronze lamp nearby. Orange ceremonial flags on poles frame the scene, and a yellow cord runs across the top of the archway.
