A gilded shrine photographed head-on, with a large golden deity murti seated on a golden throne before a red curtain, garlanded with yellow and magenta flower strands and holding a trident. Beside it on the lower dais sits a white-clad seated figure wearing a red cap, gold necklaces and a red shawl, adorned with a garland, and a standing red-robed female figure stands in a turquoise niche at right. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine on both sides, with a small brass bell and offerings in front. The figures appear to be statues or murtis rather than physical people, so no living person is counted.
