A photograph of a stone temple shrine with ornate carved pillars and a gold-arched niche. Inside, two large deity murtis are dressed in colourful garments and garlands, one holding a long yellow stick across them. In front, a shaved-headed young priest in an orange dhoti and shawl stands barefoot at left, holding a lamp-like object, beside tall brass oil lamps. Flower garlands in pink and red and a floral pedestal arrangement sit at the base. A standing statue of a sage with a red turban and beaded mala stands at right. No living person is seated on the shrine itself, and the scene shows temple worship without a visible identified figure.
