A photograph of a festival shrine lit warmly in a dark stone hall. Two deity murtis sit on a golden-framed throne atop a carved swan-shaped vahana with large golden-orange wings, the male figure wearing a green and red turban and the female figure in a blue and gold sari with a crown. Both are draped with long garlands of yellow and red flowers. In front, a small figure in orange robes and a saffron turban sits in a flower-garlanded arrangement with a brass lamp stand and marigold garlands at the base. No physical people are visible; the deity figures are statues. A small photo credit overlay appears in the lower right corner.
