A photograph of a Hindu temple shrine with a large golden arched frame and red drapery behind a central seated deity murti. The central murti has a red and orange turban, a multi-armed form holding a trident-like staff, and wears garlands and a rudraksha-style necklace. A flanking figure on the right holds a kalasha-like vessel, and two standing guardian figures stand on either side, one in a tiger-striped shawl with a crescent-marked red cap and garlands. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, a small colourful murti sits at the front, and marigold garlands drape the central figure. Offerings and small lamps sit on a magenta and gold cloth on the altar.
