A photograph inside a temple shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, green and white. A man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style robe, white flower garland and gold necklaces stands centre-front, smiling and raising one hand, with a maroon turban topped by a feather plume and gold ornaments. Behind him, golden deity murti figures stand in the arch: a figure wearing a tall gold crown and jewelled necklaces on the left, and a central figure with a crescent-moon crown and ornate silver jewellery, with a female figure in gold skirt and silver jewellery on the right. Before them is a Shiva lingam, a brass oil lamp with burning flame stands at right, and a golden kalasha-like shrine top is visible in the foreground. Appearance-based cues on the centre man include a maroon turban, gold necklaces and ceremonial robe, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

He stands before an ornate golden arch draped with rainbow-coloured flower garlands, in front of gilded statues: on the left a golden crowned deity figure with a heavy jewelled necklace, in the centre a seated gold deity murti with a crown and tall garland, and on the right a gold-clad female figure in red and gold with a jewelled headdress. A gold-and-brass oil lamp with pink flowers stands at the lower right, and a brass kalasha-style offering sits at the base.
