A photograph of a temple sanctum shrine with a central deity murti of a seated multi-armed form holding a trident in one hand, wearing an orange-red turban and a crown-like headdress, draped in garlands of yellow and red flowers and layered beaded necklaces. A consort figure in a crown and jewelry sits beside it, both set before a magenta draped backdrop within a gilded arched frame. Two guardian statues stand on either side, one in a red turban and tiger-striped garment, the other with a dark topknot, both with hands raised in greeting and wearing flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand in the foreground, and a decorated kalasha-like offering with flower garlands sits in front of the murti. The statues are not physical people.
