A photograph of an ornate shrine with a gilded arch and red backdrop. Two deity figures stand on a dais: the central figure wears a yellow turban and holds a trident, and a female figure in yellow and orange wears a white necklace, both draped in yellow-and-purple garlands. Below them a seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace sits at a white-draped platform with a brass lamp and small offerings. A person in white ritual cloth is seen at the lower left edge, facing the shrine.
