A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicolored flower garlands. At the center stands a golden deity murti with a trident and a crown, seated on a throne behind a golden kalasha-like altar. Two golden statues flank it: one at left in a red-and-gold dhoti with a red head covering and a long garland, and one at right in a gold-and-white costume with a black turban. A living woman in a red-orange sari with gold jewelry and a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the left front of the shrine, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. Brass oil lamps stand beside the figures, and a red-and-white garlanded column frames the scene.
