A photograph of a temple shrine dominated by a large multi-armed deity statue seated on a throne draped in saffron and orange cloth, with a face of dark stone-like complexion, a crown, and garlands of red roses and white flowers hanging down. A standing statue of a saint in saffron robes, holding a rudraksha mala and with a saffron turban, stands in a gilded arched niche to the right. A smaller seated figure in saffron cloth sits at the base of the throne near brass vessels, a lamp, and a book. Bright turquoise and orange drapes frame the scene. These are statues, not living people.
