Photograph of a gilded temple shrine with a central image of a seated deity murti, golden with a red turban-style crown, wearing gold necklaces and garlands of red and white flowers, seated beside a consort figure with a tall gold crown and dark hair. Two standing gold attendant statues flank the shrine, one in a red turban with white garlands, the other with a dark hair knot and red garments, both with hands raised in blessing. A green and gold curtain backdrop and an arched gold frame surround the deities. In front, a dark stone linga-like form is draped in red and white garlands and layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, with oil lamps on the floor.
