Photo of a temple courtyard with a granite shrine housing a deity murti adorned with flower garlands and a red-and-gold crown, set beside brass lamps and a stone pedestal. Three saffron-robed figures walk barefoot along a paved path past red-and-white striped barriers; the nearest woman wears a long dark braid and a rudraksha mala, another man carries a book, and a white-clad man stands at the right edge. Orange cloth hangs beside the shrine and red pillars frame the scene under trees.
