Photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched niche holding a large seated deity murti with a crown and jewelled garments, flanked by standing dvarapala-style statues: one on the left in red with a red turban, one on the right in brown-red with a rudraksha-style necklace and a raised hand. Garlands of white and red flowers hang on the figures and the central peetha, with brass oil lamps (deepas) set in front. Below, a dense crowd of devotees, including saffron-clad figures and a man with a red turban at the left edge, stands facing the shrine. Red and gold draped cloth and strings of small flags frame the scene. No living person clearly identifiable as a person is visible; the central figure is a statue.
