A photograph inside a tented shrine with a white fabric canopy, showing a large Hindu deity murti with multiple arms and a lion mount, flanked by yellow-garlanded goddess statues including one holding a veena. In the foreground a bare-shouldered figure wearing a rust-brown wrap faces the altar. On the right, a seated man in a rust-brown dhoti with a white flower garland sits on an ornate silver throne, raising both hands in blessing, while two people in orange robes stand behind him. Marigold garlands, brass lamps and flower-strewn yellow platforms surround the altar, and a digital clock reads 09:44.
