A photograph of a temple shrine with carved grey stone pillars and a gilded arch framing a red curtain. Two large deity murti stand behind a central figure: the left has a red turban and multiple garlands and the right wears a crown and a long gold necklace, both in gold-trimmed clothing. Between them a smaller figure in saffron and white draped cloth sits on a white-draped platform, adorned with garlands of orange and yellow flowers. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with brass vessels, a kalasha and offerings in front. No people are visible; the statues are the focus.
