Photograph of a decorated temple shrine inside a plain shed with corrugated metal roof. A gold-coloured arch frames a small deity murti dressed with white and yellow garlands, set on a tiered striped pedestal with a kalasha-like base. Behind it hangs a multicoloured semicircular floral and tinsel arch with peacock-eye style ornaments, flanked by two smaller murtis garlanded in multicoloured fabric. An orange and multicoloured canopy marked Dhyanapeetam hangs above. In front, a small table holds offering items, with white sweets or prasadam arranged at the bottom edge. A partial printed banner on the left shows a portrait and Telugu text. No people are visible.
