Photograph of an illuminated stone shrine shown at night, with an arched golden torana framing a red backdrop. Within the shrine stands a deity murti pair, a figure in red and green garments, adorned with garlands of orange and pink flowers and a tall golden cylindrical lingam-like form in the centre. Several tall brass oil lamps stand on the ledge, with a small red-robed figure seated in front, and orange cloth drapes hang at both sides. A small kalasha-like offering vessel sits near the base. Above, painted bull figures appear on the roof. No people are standing in the scene apart from the small seated figure, which is a statue or image rather than a living person.
