A dimly lit, smoky temple-style scene with warm orange and green lighting. Two large painted statues of multi-armed guardian figures flank the frame, one holding a club-like staff. At the centre stands a dark-skinned murti of a deity holding a trident, adorned with a gold necklace and a crown, framed by strings of fairy lights hanging in the dark background. No physical people are visible; the figures shown are statues and a deity murti.
