A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with floral garlands in yellow, orange, red, pink and purple, with ferns framing the pillars. Inside the shrine sits a pair of seated deity murtis, one wearing a golden crown and the other in a white-and-gold sari-like garment, behind a red backdrop. In front, a white-clad priest in a white dhoti and a shawl holds a lamp toward the murtis while a second priest in white and orange stands beside him holding a tray. Brass oil lamps, flower arrangements and a small silver vessel rest on the floor and altar. Lush green trees are visible through an opening at left.
