Night photograph of a temple-style shrine decorated with a gilded arch and carved stone pillars, with fairy lights strung across the ceiling. Two deity murtis stand within the arch, draped in marigold and red flower garlands, and the central figure wears a red crown and ornate jewellery. In front, a seated priest in an orange cloth and a white-clothed attendant sit beside brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha and small bowls, performing puja. Blurred foreground figures in white and dark clothing are partly visible.
