A photograph of a decorated temple shrine under a stone roof with grey pillars. In the centre, a golden arched niche holds a deity couple murti: a male figure in a red crown and white dhoti and a female figure in a pink sari with a crescent-topped headdress, both draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Below them sits a smaller orange-robed figure with a garland. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with flower petals and offerings in brass bowls on the platform. In front are two white horse cutouts harnessing a small white and red seated figure like a chariot, with children's toys and colourful alphabet letters along the ledge. No people are visible.
