A photograph of a temple shrine with a standing young man in a yellow dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha-style garland, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. Behind him, a large deity murti pair in yellow and gold clothing is adorned with thick garlands of yellow, orange, white and purple flowers, with a gold arched backdrop and red curtains. A seated yellow-clad figure sits before a flower-draped altar with brass lamps, a bell and kalasha-like vessels. Granite pillars with carved designs frame the open pavilion. The standing young man is a person, not a statue, and the murtis and seated figure are statues or images.
